    “Server” has been pretty normalized (albeit abused) by discord especially, so it seems accessible to me?

    “Instance” does seem vague and overly techy to me, it’s an oop/code term (think “instantiate the class”) that’s been borrowed for casual use.

    “Community=subreddit” sounds pretty good, but runs the risk of being misinterpreted as more of a “community = discord server” thing…

    I’m also fond of matrix’s “homeserver”, a server that (while your home) isn’t your only location, but that might be entirely foreign to new users too.

    Definitely a tricky problem
