would it be simpler for people if we said "server" instead of "instance"? (programming.dev)

or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word "proxy", "host", or "hub" is simpler

the specific terms aren't my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

you're right about people making choices, but I still think the word choice matters, I've told people about Lemmy before and they always ask what an instance is
