« and soon Diaspora are part of this same network [ie. ActivityPub] » — I was surprised to read that, and after a quick check, it's not looking like it'll happen anytime soon, sadly.
diaspora* is one of the most famous and successful open, federated social networks out there, yet it does not implement the protocol which is gaining unprecedented traction across a large number of implementations. Hopefully, Nextcloud implementing ActivityPub is yet another reason for diaspora* to follow the move.
Is it really? Not being snarky here, but I joined diaspora early on and a year or so after the untimely death of the co-founder the project felt like it was going no where. 6 years later it feels like I never hear anything about it, and ActivityPub is almost a must for any serious "open" social network now.
