Are communities server-specific? i.e, is the "Gaming" community on lemmy.ml different from the one on, say, beehaw.org? (lemmy.ml)

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?

It avoids centralisation. You can simply defederate from nazi instances, and the whole platform can't be sold out from underneath you.

And for someone like me, who is trans and runs several instances for the gender diverse community, I'm able to curate the experience so my users don't experience constant hate and aggression. So if someone is posting transphobic stuff that doesn't get actioned on their home instance, I can block that user (or their whole instance) from mine even if I'm not a moderator of the community.
