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

Do you know how it works under the hood? I didn't see an obvious git repo in the few minutes I looked around.

I actually just started hacking on my own because I noticed a library I want to use (Iroh) finally has a release with decent documentation and a relevant example. The main idea is that each app install would help host the data, support searches, etc, so there's no single point of failure, or any real requirement for people to host larger instances (maybe just some relay hosting).

I'm guessing there are several floating around, but I figured I might as well try my own to at least get familiar with the library.

I'm afraid I don't. If you don't mind venturing to reddit the creator is fairly active on /r/redditalternatives.
