That I get. But then that animorphs@reddthat.com would be a completely separate community, not just a mirror of my community on shit just works right?

So if animorphs was really popular, I would see five different communities from different instances, and All five communities would be copied to an accessible on every instance?

I think I get it if I have that right.

Thanks again, I think my stumbling block here was I didn't understand that a community was copied to every instance that accessed it. I thought the instances were completely independent and any instance could simply direct you to the instance a particular community was hosted on rather than every community being mirrored on every instance.

Correct

Yes, !movies@lemm.ee and !movies@lemmy.world for instance are completely different communities

Okay, cool. Thanks for going into all that with me, I'm always looking to better understand.
