I'm as new as the next guy, but that certainly doesn't mesh with my understanding of federation at all. Per my understanding, communities are completely unrelated across instances. AITA on lemmy.world can be run by UserA and have SetofrulesA with BanlistA, while AITA on lemmy.ml can be run by UserB with SoR-B and BL-B. AFAIK It's the entire point of federation, that if I don't like how AITA on lemmy.whatevs is run I can spin up my own and go on my merry way.
Perhaps someone more in the know will turn up but I believe that you were told wrong.
