Can I conect with Mastodon, Friendica, and others in the fediverse? And if so, is it automatic or requires configuring, or does it depend upon a Pod and if so, how do I know which Pod/s?
I have a Friendica account, but I like Diaspora UI better.

No.
Yes, if the Friendica node has the diaspora* protocol support enabled.
“Fediverse” is a surprisingly meaningless term because it doesn’t accurately describe anything. If you’re asking if diaspora* talks to applications talking ActivityPub, the answer is no.

sounds like stay with Friendica to get all of them then.

There are other projects that implement multiple protocols. the-federation.org has an incomplete list. Give a couple of projects a try and use whatever fits you the best!
