Comment on would it be simpler for people if we said "proxy" instead of "instance"?
nix@merv.news 1 year agoi know discord servers are run on your own servers but us using the term would both be accurate and be understandable by the average person.

No, calling Discord groups/communities/guilds “servers” is not accurate and is totally wrong. You cannot create your own Discord server and Discord would never let you.
It’s like calling Facebook a website hosting, because you can create a “site” on it.

…. Im talking about lemmy servers. Calling lemmy instances servers. I domt care what people call discord servers im saying they already call them servers and people will understand what a lemmy server is because they already know what a discord server is and the concept is similar enough they will understand how lemmy servers work and can still communicate with one another.
