Nope, it's an independent project and one of the newer ones. It's the newest one that's federated for sure. I think he just might be first to federation... he's moving pretty fast and has some decent interest in it.

Ohh okay cool. So it's like a mastadon thing? Sounds nice, I hope he makes progress on it.

Yes, it uses the same protocol as Mastodon, ActivityPub. How much if any integration there will be with the existing Mastodon fediverse is yet to be seen. From a tech standpoint, it's easy to do all sorts of weird shit.

There are like 3 deployments of the saidit architecture, so technically that's like a kind of federation haha

Heck yeah, it is. We're helping people to saidit without the corporate overlords. Once there's a 'reddit clone' version it's gonna spread a bunch more too.
