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

Yeah it’s even worse than that.
fedia.io is a specific “provider” in this context. fedia.io runs on mbin. Lemmy is analogous to mbin. Many “providers” run on lemmy: lemmy.world, lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.wtf, etc.
What is being provided is fediverse access. “Fediverse” is not my mostest favorite term, but it’s the one that’s most accurate.
There’s a discussion on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com about a name for Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed, as they are actually compatible. Mastodon and the others always feels a bit finicky. Feel free to contribute.
