If nobody on an instance is subscribed to any communities on another instance, they don't actively talk to each other. This means that if you're the first to subscribe to a community, you may not be able to see stuff from before you subscribed from your local instance. Once you subscribe, your local instance will start copying stuff from the other instance to its local database.
I'll be interested to learn more about all this, in particular how all these instances will scale up as the user base grows.
