How do communities work across servers? For instance, I registered my account on server A, and create a community named MyCommunity on Server A. Someone who’s registered on Server B can access MyCommunity by going to !MyCommunity@ServerA.
Now if someone else on Server B decides to create a community also called MyCommunity on Server B, I could access that by going to !MyCommunity@ServerB.
My question is, with the MyCommunity communities ever sync across Server A and Server B? Or will they remain completely separated since they’re on different servers? Will things posted to !MyCommunity@ServerA ever show up for people that have only subscribed to !MyCommunity@ServerB, or are these kept completely separate?
It makes me think of Discord servers. There are lots of channels that share the same name but they are all on different servers. You can visit any and all of them if you like but they are not connected.
Where this analogy fails is you cannot see or send messages without joining the server. And on Lemmy you can.
