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?

That's actually a really good point. There's an optimum number of users that's obviously orders of magnitude higher than where Lemmy is at right now, but it's probably an order of magnitude lower than reddit's current position. If reddit's changes could drive the most technologically literate 10-20% of reddit's user base over here, that might be a very good thing indeed.
