would it be simpler for people if we said "server" instead of "instance"? (programming.dev)

or maybe some other terminology would be better? lots of people get confused when you ask them to choose an instance, sometimes I think even the word "proxy", "host", or "hub" is simpler

the specific terms aren't my point, just a discussion to see if we can come up with a better name

Service provider? "Please select your Lemmy service provider".

that actually sounds like a good way to call them
