  Discord servers are just groups. Lemmy “instances” are actual separate instances of Lemmy communicating.

    I know. What im saying is the word server isnt too technical and is both easier to understand and technically correct

  Servers are a better word for it imo.

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