Yeah, it's not great. Unfortunately, there's not a great way to describe this stuff without either leaning into abstract terms, or using oversimplifications.
The short of it is: only half of the ActivityPub protocol really got adopted by most of the Fediverse: the stuff that lets servers talk to each other. The other half would allow for a lot of cool things to be built, with not everything being its own Fediverse server.
