it doesn't seem like there's a fediverse alternative for short form video content is there? my stupid little monkey brain requires it lol

If by short form you mean something like Twitter, there is Mastodon. Did you mean something else?

video content, should have specified, will edit

stuff like yt shorts, ig reels, tiktok

Is Nextcloud really part of the Fediverse? I what does it have to do with the rest of it?

There's Nextcloud Social, which is a social network built in to Nextcloud that connects to the Fediverse. Nextcloud is already a hub that does a lot of things (file storage, email, notes, calendar, word processing etc), so for business users and organizations it might make sense to have a social network solution built directly into Nextcloud.

It seems not to be in active development though. Which is a shame - it would be neat if self hosting Nextcloud gave you the option to easily have a self hosted handle on the Fediverse along with it.

Maybe I am too synical but how come Lemmy is in the exact centre of this graphic?

Lemmy seems to have gotten the lions share of reddit migrants. Which is fine mostly, it's got good features and seems to be the popular pick. But with all the posts I've been seeing lately it really seems like many Lemmy users think Lemmy is all there is. I personally don't give a shit how you are viewing the fediverse, but to me any boasting about your particular instance reads like you're bragging about the designer of your glasses...

Lemmy seems to have gotten the lions share of reddit migrants

According to fedidb.org, Lemmy (all instances) has 70,412 active users while kbin (all instances) has 61,811. That's a 53%-47% split - technically a narrow majority, but the reality is that both services have picked up 'about half' of the new users. (I focused here on active users, as the total users stats are badly skewed by the problem a few weeks ago where several Lemmy instances that don't validate accounts were overrun by bots.)

It's not obviously enough to justify Lemmy getting special attention or Lemmy users not being aware the Threadiverse is bigger than just Lemmy.
