It’s not a website in the same way as a family isn’t a person and a band isn’t a musician. There are websites that are part of it, but no single website is The Fediverse.
A website, or web site, is any web page whose content is identified by a common domain name and is published on at least one web server. Websites are typically dedicated to a particular topic or purpose, such as news, education, commerce, entertainment, or social media.
Not all the Fediverse is Lemmy, but all Lemmies are websites.
You’re injecting your own definition of Lemmy. The normal definitions would be:
The software running on the websites and webservers. It’s the same software running on all the websites, so it’s still only one Lemmy no matter how many websites it powers.
The subset of the Fediverse that’s accessible via Lemmy software. There’s only one of that (although defederation makes it a little complicated as you can’t access all of Lemmy from any one website).
