Matrix is not part of the fediverse. I don't know where people got this idea, but I keep seeing it mentioned on Lemmy. It's just a decentralized messaging software
After looking into it, it is federated but not activitypub, so it may not technically be part of the fediverse.
Edit: i did a bad job researching this, but this is true to the best of my knowledge.
It is federated though? It's literally the first sentence in their specification: https://spec.matrix.org/latest/
