So my understanding is that a community created on a certain server (say lemmy.world), can be interacted with by any other federated server, and any interactions from those servers are synced to the original “true” community / server. How does it work if two servers both have a community with the same name? Each server is the owner of content created there, and then Lemmy is just merging the communities with identical names so posts from both appear under server.com/c/Music?

/c/Music on server A could have drastically different rules from /c/Music on server B, so there’s potential for users on both to see posts that wouldn’t be allowed on their server?

    Awesome, makes perfect sense. And now I am seeing that I can search by All in the communities, and subscribe to all of the duplicates. Lemmy is friggin’ sweet! Thanks for the answers. I was not expecting so many replies so quickly!
