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?

People should really see naming conflicts, not as a negative, but a positive.

If you have two cities that run their own lemmy servers, say Wales and Wellington, they can each have their own !news community, like:

wales.lemmy.com/c/news
wellington.lemmy.com/c/news

This is a good way of framing the concept.
