Lemmy.world is just 1 instance/server. Each instance/server is controlled by different people. Each instance/server can choose to(or not) group with other instances/servers for shared content all around, thats what people refer to as federated or federation.
Theres actually a handful of lesser known social media and video services that can run like this, including Mastadon and Peertube.
In terms of user usability, the it sure would be nice with one client or one aggregator so you could subscribe to everything.
I found WefWef yesterday, which is a total ripoff of Apollo. I kind of feel bad for the Apollo dev, for using WedWef, but the experience is just so much like Reddit on Apollo.
I don’t think Wefwef can aggregate across instances.

Does such a client or website exist?
