How does comment federation work? (kbin.social)

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered many times, but I can't seem to find the info.

My naive understanding is that a given community lives on a certain server. For example, this post is at lemmy.ml: https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml/t/107757/Is-anybody-else-more-active-here-then-they-were-on

Then, I figured that when I visit that post from kbin.social, I figured it would pull the comments from the lemmy.ml community and that no matter where you view a post, the comments would (eventually) be identical. However, the comments are very different at https://lemmy.world/post/746839 which makes me think that I have a pretty fundamental misunderstanding with how things work.

I've noticed the same thing, comments are not visible. As explained below, I'm just gonna give the federation some time to do its work and then the comments will start appearing.
