There’s no official fediverse anything, the fediverse is an unorganized collection of:
Applications that share a somewhat compatible protocol by which they transfer information (ActivityPub). Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica are all examples of Fediverse applications that have varying abilities to interoperate with each other. These applications are often created by organized projects that have their own websites. Like there is a Mastodon project with an official website at https://joinmastodon.org/ and there is a Lemmy project with an official website at https://join-lemmy.org/.
Instances of one of these applications that are fully compatible with other instances of the same application. So you can think of all the lemmy instances as a Lemmyverse where users on one Lemmy instance can talk to users on a different Lemmy instance through federation. Instances pretty much always have websites like mastodon.social and lemmy.ml.
Individuals using accounts on those instances. User accounts often have a page on their instance, like mine is https://lemmy.world/u/PriorProject.
The fediverse itself, though, has no official website. It’s the emergent collection of all of the above. There are websites that use the word “fediverse” in their name, but those sites are ABOUT the fediverse, or they might be PART OF the fediverse… but no one site IS the fediverse or can represent it or be the official home of it. It similar to the internet. There happens to be a website at https://www.internet.com/. But it’s obviously not like… the internet… or the official website of the internet. There is no official website of the internet, that’s just a random website that happens to be ON the internet. The fediverse works the same way, it’s an abstract idea used to describe a loosely affiliated collection of things that try to interoperate with each other in a variety of complicated ways.
Be careful with first hits ;-)
Seriously: there is no official website, only pages of individual projects, i.e. https://join-lemmy.org/instances.
And the website you linked to is really an interesting source (which I didn’t know yet, thanks), but details are under “About”: https://www.fediverse.to/about/
But there are plenty more, you can even make your own, if you feel like it. But apps are evolving, what connects them is the ActivityPub protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActivityPub

“and there is a Lemmy project with an official website at…”
You wrote the same URL twice ;)
The correct URL for the Lemmy project is: https://join-lemmy.org/
Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out, mate.
