Growing up I used to play aqworlds and it was super common in my online friend group at the time for everyone to host their own private servers on their own websites, once I got into the fediverse and webhosting again, I was reminded of it and it got me thinking how cool it would be to have a browser 2d mmo where people hosted their own servers.
Is there a game that implements activityhub at all? Like where server chat can be read and sent from something like mastodon.
I realize this is a stretch and something like this doesn’t make sense or exist, just curious.

Mention of AQWorlds and private servers? What year is this! Were you a lurker or member of the CE forum or Stylin-on.me? 😉
Second Life?
Everything is hosted locally and created by the players. It works on BitTorrent tech to send and receive the data of objects and shit.
There are also players run emulated servers for older MMOs like Ultima Online, EverQuest even WoW, making it somewhat decentralized. You’re not forced to actually subscribe to and play on the official servers (if they even still exist).
Does fediverse plays pokemon count? Lol there’s a mastodon account where you vote for the next move of a game of pokemon gold
Veloren is in pre alpha, but it looks like anyone can host a server. I have only been playing it a little and still unsure about everything. It does not use Activity Pub so it is not federated, but it is decentralized.
There is a small community for it. !veloren@lemmy.ml
And it is available on Windows/Linux/macOS.
Are there any fediverse games at all?
You could try adding AP support to an OSS MMO like eg., The Mana World
