I have a question about communities. Are communities server-specific, for example, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org and will I need to join both?

People should really see naming conflicts, not as a negative, but a positive.

If you have two cities that run their own lemmy servers, say Wales and Wellington, they can each have their own !news community, like:

  • wales.lemmy.com/c/news
  • wellington.lemmy.com/c/news

This is a good way of framing the concept.
