Do you mean instances can federate with communities and not just other instances?

When you follow a remote community, it doesn't send all of that servers posts. Only posts from that comm. That way, if I'm hosting a small server and subscribe to !guineapigs@lemmy.world, for example, it won't drown my server with the rest of lemmy.worlds posts.

Does that mean what I see in All is a combination of instances my instances is federated with + the comms that users from my instance are subscribed to? So if my instance is federated with another instance and no one from my instance is subbed to any of the comms from that other instance then no one from my instance will see posts from that instance in All?

Sorry for word salad.
