Can RISC-V SBCs use ARM software? (sopuli.xyz)

Technically both are RISC based but probably they are way different in implementation. I'm thinking about buying a RISC-V SBC, and I just want to be sure about compatiblity with running ARM based software.

Developers are working hard to rebase apps to run on RISC-V silicon. There seem to be a good number of open source apps already available, though I haven't seen a definitive list anywhere. I use the Alpine Linux repository to monitor progress : https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=&branch=edge&repo=&arch=riscv64&maintainer=
