When people say “servers” on Matrix, they mean like an “instance” of Lemmy, right? Not a “server,” the way it’s used in Discord. I’m rather new to this federation thing and I keep getting confused because some services use different terms (e.g. Peertube uses “platform,” I think).

Yes, a matrix server is an “instance” of matrix on the larger federated service.
Discord calling their different channels “servers” was really unhelpful because they were never servers to begin with.
Thank you! Your username is hilarious, by the way.
