This network of interacting instances is known collectively as The Fediverse, thousands of independently run servers with small (sometimes not too small) communities that co-mingle on the federated timeline.
There are many ways to join The Fediverse. You may also be interested in Pixelfed or PeerTube which also use the ActivityPub protocol but are focused more on photos and videos respectively.
