    Uhm, we could reach a certain agreement if we say that it is many websites at once.

        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.

            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).
