It would tie in better with the email analogy, and it could show that they all just provide access to the same network.

    Servers are a better word for it imo. It is what it actually is and average people already understand servers from discord

      Agreed. When I explain Lemmy to my friends I describe instances as “servers.”

    I hate the term “instance”. It’s hopelessly geeky (it derives from object-oriented programming). It brings to mind nerds and gamers in basements.
