    So if they click on my link, they’ll be able to view it but not interact with it because it isn’t on their instance?

    Yes, their account wouldn’t work

    And each time a change is made in the animorphs community on any instance, that’s reflected to all animorphs communities on all instances?

    Correct

    Then there can only be one animorphs community named “animorphs” and any other community would have to have a slightly different name?

    Yours is the unique !animorphs@sh.itjust.works .

    Someone could create !animorphs@reddthat.com

    The same way bill@gmail.com is not bill@hotmail.com

      That I get. But then that animorphs@reddthat.com would be a completely separate community, not just a mirror of my community on shit just works right?

      So if animorphs was really popular, I would see five different communities from different instances, and All five communities would be copied to an accessible on every instance?

      I think I get it if I have that right.

      Thanks again, I think my stumbling block here was I didn’t understand that a community was copied to every instance that accessed it. I thought the instances were completely independent and any instance could simply direct you to the instance a particular community was hosted on rather than every community being mirrored on every instance.
