It would tie in better with the email analogy, and it could show that they all just provide access to the same network.

I mean, it’s not like that at all, but it’s ok to not care for it still. Lemmy is a federated platform, just like Pixelfed is, and Mastodon, etc. Those would be the providers in the example from before.
Edit to add: Literally every time the word “instance” comes up in the manner noted above, it’s woth regard to a Lemmy instance, or a Mastodon instance, and rarely if ever have I noticed a reference to a “fediverse instance”. I have no clue where your comparison comes from.
Lemmy is a server application. Mastodon is a server application. Pixelfed is a server application.
I don’t use Lemmy. Never have. And yet here I am.
