Servers are a better word for it imo. It is what it actually is and average people already understand servers from discord

"Average people" don't even know what Discord is

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

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