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.
