This is all very confusing to me

I think part of why it's confusing is that we don't have defined names for these things. This is so early in a social media "product" life that there isn't a common understanding. You're now part of making those names. It's a bit exciting but mostly confusing while everyone uses their own terms to mean the same fundamental things. Embrace the chaos!

But we do: Communities.

You find that term in the UI, in user documentation, and the /c/ part of the URL also refers to that.

Calling it anything else, especially unrelated to /c/, will only make it harder and more confusing for new people to join.
