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

VexCatalyst ,

Yes, and no. For the most part, NextCloud kinda does it’s own kind of federation: docs.nextcloud.com/…/federated_cloud_sharing.html

docs.nextcloud.com/…/federated_cloud_sharing_conf…

I had heard it’s based on the diaspora protocol but I don’t know how true that is.

That said, there is a way to link your Mastodon account to your NextCloud account so you can view posts from within NextCloud.

I was about to say the same thing. I sort of understand it under networking, but how do I federate my music or video w ith nextcloud?

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.
