Thanks for the explainer! Looks like I was just confused about how the communities were presented. Not showing the server name alongside the community name made me think that the community was hosted locally
The other thing that can be confusing is that community names are not unique across instances. So, in my example, there is a “196” community on lemmy.world- https://lemmy.world/c/196- which is why it shows me the server name, but someone else has also created a 196 community on my instance, https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196, which does NOT show the server name because it’s local:
These two “196” communities are completely discrete and have no interaction or shared content between them. Although a multireddit-like feature has been requested, so you could at least create a single feed containing both of these communities if that gets implemented.
