According to the Fediverse definition it is. The definition is: '... able to communicate over the boundaries of the instances because the software running on the servers supports one or more communication protocols which follow an open standard'. These open standards are: ActivityPub, Diaspora Network, OStatus and Zot.
Right but Lemmy is not federating with the known fediverse yet so I call it lemmyverse
Fediverse is just any software that federates, not necessarily with ActiviyPub. Using "Fediverse" to mean ActivityPub only is a misuse of the term.
