I don’t know any Lemmy users IRL. I have nudged my friends towards it. My partner has asked me to post things a few times. Just curious.

Call them “communities”, not “instances”, that might work better
Perhaps there’s a better term, because “communities” already means something else here. Last thing we need is another Discord-calling-groups-‘servers’ mess.
“Homes” could be alright? or even “towns”?
“Communities” would work well because most people understand that it describes a group of people with similar interests which is basically what Lemmy instances are (whereas “instance” sounds borderline meaningless to most people as if you’re trying to push them onto a tech project they don’t understand). The Lemmy “c/” could be called “subcommunities” or “sublemmies” or something like that which would help people who are familiar with Reddit understand what they are as well.
This made me think about my struggles with trying to learn moves in fighting games.
The tutorial can’t tell me the move with actual button combinations. No. Instead I have to read it as punch + kick + grab first. And because I’m a friggin’ noob, I have to try to interpret what buttons those actions are.
How is this relevant? It really isn’t, the more I think about it. Bad comparison. Ah well. At least you know how sad I am at fighting games now.
