    My understanding is (and if I’m wrong, someone please correct me) instances/servers are like little towns with their own communities. But you’re not limited to just your town and your communities. You’re free to visit any town and join any of their communities.

    I’m sure it’s much more convoluted than that, this was just my simple understanding of it.

      Towns and communities is a really good analogy.

      Honestly, a simple little language change like that, if adopted by the developers, might simplify onboarding a for people.

      When you introduce new tech, the best way to onboard folks is to use metaphor and to reference patterns they’re already familiar with.
