Sure it does - it doesn’t really make sense to separate Lemmy, Piefed, and Mbin as separate Reddit alternatives, since you can generally access the same stuff from all three of them. Although arguably it would make sense to say “the threadiverse” since most of the other fediverse software isn’t really Reddit-like.
the fediverse is the most popular reddit alternative.
the individual platforms, like lemmy, are a part of an ecosystem.

That’s the distinction I would draw. Mastodon is not a Reddit work-alike.
maybe we could also say lemmy+fediverse, like we say GNU+Linux
