Yeah nodes and instances are kinda interchangeable terminology, instances is the right word to use really though for what we are referring to today, a node could be any server that provides a function or service to the lemmyverse but not necessarily a full instance, however right now, all we have are instances. As the Lemmy is developed we may see some functions of instances being handed off to other nodes, like a database node, to save on compute and storage costs.
