Distributions generally try to maintain binary compatibility, so a binary compiled on, say, Ubuntu, should run fine on Fedora, as long as all necessary libraries are installed. Any free and open-source application can be adapted to any modern distro, so even if a distro doesn't maintain binary compatibility, they can still run the same applications. They just need to be compiled separately.
