They are all similar in the sense that they all relate to the spread of cultural traits like ideas, clothing, food, and language, but they all differ in respect to how the diffusion comes about. To pull from my notes, relocation diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from any given culture migrate to a place with a different culture. Contagious diffusion is diffusion that occurs when something spreads to other places around it and affects almost everyone in its reach. Hierarchical diffusion is diffusion that occurs when people from a high class or social status begin a trend that spreads to the lower classes. Stimulus diffusion is diffusion that spreads to other cultures and adapts the diffused traits to better fit with the new culture (it is only the basic idea that spreads). If you need examples, let me know. So, TL;DR: Yes, they are similar, but they have distinct differences.
The term 'diffusion' is related to its Latin word of origin, "diffusio," which means "spreading out" or "pouring out." In both English and Latin, diffusion refers to the process of a substance spreading out from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
Observable behaviors of gases include expansion to fill container, diffusion to mix evenly with other gases, compression under pressure, and exertion of pressure on container walls.
Diffusion of AIDS is an example of contagious diffusion, where the disease spreads through direct or indirect contact between individuals.

Expansion Diffusion
contagious diffusion, relocation diffusion, expansion diffusion, stimulus diffusion, hierarchical diffusion.
Expansion diffusion means that the diffusion expands in the area you are in. Relocation diffusion is when you have spread something where you are, and then move(relocate) somewhere else, spreading it there as well.

Christianity slowly spread and was excepted across North America by relocation and expansion diffusion.
Contagious diffusion is a branch of expansion diffusion. It refers to a cultural trait spreading across a population like a disease.

Three ways that culture can be spread, including, Relocation diffusion, Expansion diffusion and stimulus diffusion.
Diffusion is the process of spreading new ideas from culture to culture. Examples of diffusion include the use of cars and the smelting of iron. There are five main types of diffusion they are: Expansion diffusion, Relocation diffusion, Hierarchal diffusion, Congious diffusion and Stimulus diffusion.
The three types of expansion diffusion are contagious diffusion, hierarchical diffusion, and stimulus diffusion. Contagious diffusion occurs when a trend or idea spreads rapidly through a population, much like a virus. Hierarchical diffusion involves the spread of an idea from a person or place of power to other individuals or regions, often following social or political hierarchies. Stimulus diffusion occurs when a cultural trait or idea is adopted and adapted by another culture, leading to variations of the original concept.
