My interpretation is something that isn't the fediverse version of something else. Like Lemmy doesn't count because it's the fediverse version of Reddit.
I think the question at that point is "How often is there a completely new way to use the Internet socially, either inside or outside of the federated space?"
I don't think it happens very often. Blogs, messsage boards and dating sites in the '90s; microblogs, photo and video sharing in the '00s; short form video sharing in the '10s if that counts as a separate thing. There's only like seven types of social network in the three decades or so they've existed.
