I saw someone suggest using the word "community" instead of server or instance and I think that's a great idea!

Telling someone new to the Mastodon (or other Fediverse platforms) that the first step is to choose a community seems much less daunting to me.

Ha, FWIW, personally I would go the other way with that.
If you told me I needed to choose a server or instance, fine, but choosing a community seems like a much bigger deal, much more daunting.
Just to say, some people are going to feel more scared away by that terminology, even if some people like it better.
