- **Fediverse:** several servers following one another, several users
following each other. Designates federated communities in general.
- **Vidiverse:** same as Fediverse, but federating videos specifically.
- **Instance:** a server which runs PeerTube in the fediverse.
- **Origin instance:** the instance on which the video was uploaded and which
is seeding (through the WebSeed protocol) the video.
- **Cache instance:** an instance that decided to make available a WebSeed
of its own for a video originating from another instance. It sends a `ptCache`
activity to notify the origin instance, which will then update its list of
WebSeeds for the video.
- **Following:** the action of a PeerTube instance which will follow another
instance (subscribe to its videos).
