How do communities work across servers? For instance, I registered my account on server A, and create a community named MyCommunity on Server A. Someone who’s registered on Server B can access MyCommunity by going to !MyCommunity@ServerA.

Now if someone else on Server B decides to create a community also called MyCommunity on Server B, I could access that by going to !MyCommunity@ServerB.

My question is, with the MyCommunity communities ever sync across Server A and Server B? Or will they remain completely separated since they’re on different servers? Will things posted to !MyCommunity@ServerA ever show up for people that have only subscribed to !MyCommunity@ServerB, or are these kept completely separate?

    Yeah I agree, at least the top 100 communities need to be synced across all instances or something. It’s not easy for someone to find content in their first hour here.

      It would be nice if, when signing up to an instance, you are auto-subbed to a bunch of communities of that instance’s choosing, even if not all of those communities are on that instance.
