Ah, then unless I go and search all instances for, say, /c/hockey, these will have different posts. This is a shame.
But thank you for taking the time to answer my questions :)
I believe the idea is that there will be one main established hockey community, and you wouldn't need to create another on another instance (unless you're unhappy with the "main" one). So if lemmy.ca hosts the hockey community, users from other instances would just use it directly. For example the main lemmy woodworking and hockey communities both appear to be hosted right here on lemmy.ca.
I think that's the case. But I'm new here too, so maybe there is some way to search across instances.
It's kinda like how there is the /r/gaming subreddit and /r/games, they post similar content but you cannot see posts and comments from one of those subreddits on the other.
Whenever you come across a community that you're following, like [email protected], that's also hosted on another instance, like [email protected] hosted on another instance, just follow that one too.
