Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
What is a Fediverse Galaxy?
As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

Sounds like a useful new term.
The table does not capture the fact that e.g. @stux is hosting several Mastodon instances. Should those instances hosted for others as a service be counted as part of the same galaxy?
Or would this be a Fediverse family (in analogy to Tor where relays run be the same entity are called a family).
@christian @fediverse @stux I am not sure what exactly you are questioning? just that some admins have more then one mastodon instance?
I'm not questioning anything. I'm just wondering if "galaxy" is the same thing in the Fediverse as "relay family" is in the Tor world.
@liaizon @fediverse see now all I can think is, “Ha! I’m my own galaxy, I’m not just a star anymore mom I’m a God damn galaxy!!!”
