Absolutely! While communities might share a name across multiple instances, the content and discussions can be quite different.

Mereo@lemmy.ca 9 months agoBut I have to say that’s a plus. I’m on Lemmy.ca and beehaw.org is federated with my instance so I can interact with their communities. I have noticed that discussions on technology@beehaw.org are different from those on technology@lemmy.world. I think that’s the beauty of Fediverse.
It’s like being in a technology club in France and then visiting the technology club in Germany. They may look like the same clubs on the surface, but then you realize that these clubs have different interests and the discussions are different because the worldviews of the two clubs are different.

That’s true for some communities, but for instance !technology@lemmy.world and !technology@lemmy.ml are pretty similar, and tend to have the same content posted by bots.
I can understand why this can be annoying.
