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?

      Its different from centralized services, and better. Rather than there being a single universal gaming community, people can make their own, with their own rules. If one gaming community has bad mods, or one server has bad admins, you can move to a different one.

        wait, what about if you have two communities where mods and admins are fine. Are there any options to federate those communities?

        all this time I was under impression that communities already federate

          There is not a single, god community. Any instance can make /c/startrek, and people can subscribe to both.
