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?

    It was actually intended on my part, I mean, I’m using my lemmy account much more than kbin since I write on lemmy, it’s interesting to see kbin showed you that option, tho I wonder what would happen if it wasn’t me having that account name on kbin …
