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

    The Discord use of the term is more similar to a community on Lemmy, which also has its own moderators.

      This is how I see it:

      • Discord server = Lemmy instance
      • Discord channel = Lemmy community
      • Discord thread = Lemmy post
      • Discord replies = Lemmy comment threads

      It’s not a perfect comparison, but that’s at least how I see it.
