Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
I've noticed a huge spike in Mastodon usage of late, and it looks like this is becoming a self reinforcing phenomenon. It's starting to get more and more mainstream coverage, and that in turn helps legitimize it as the platform to use as the Twitter alternative.
It also helps that Mastodon is relatively mature now, and there aren't any commercial alternatives to Twitter that people can flock to right now. So, it's basically the only game in town.

Neat :) I did read at some news site that Hive social app is seeing an influx of new signups and suffered briefly from that.
The big problem for companies like Hive is that they need to keep showing growth to their investors, and their revenue model is ads and analytics. It's not clear how well this business model will work in a recession. Hive is also mobile only, which seems to be a big limiting factor.
