      I think part of why it’s confusing is that we don’t have defined names for these things. This is so early in a social media “product” life that there isn’t a common understanding. You’re now part of making those names. It’s a bit exciting but mostly confusing while everyone uses their own terms to mean the same fundamental things. Embrace the chaos!

        But we do: Communities.

        You find that term in the UI, in user documentation, and the /c/ part of the URL also refers to that.

        Calling it anything else, especially unrelated to /c/, will only make it harder and more confusing for new people to join.

          Yeah I’ll take that, I honestly wrote this before I realised that instances had communities as they’re not very prominent on Jerboa at the moment!
