the term sublemmy confuses the issue because it makes it harder to understand the idea that an instance isn’t just lemmy, which is another big question people have about the fediverse: what’s kbin, how does it interact with lemmy, how do i see things on mastodon, etc
The ‘instance’ is the ‘server’ that you made your account with.
Your ‘instance’ is ‘lemmy.fmhy.ml’.
A community is essentially a subreddit. As far as I know, there isn’t really an official term for it yet. I have been calling them ‘sublemmys’.
sublemmy is probably not a great term, since it references lemmy rather than being a generic threadiverse term
You’re right but let’s not confuse the OP

Why not just call it a community?
The official term IS community.
