I run lemmyverse.org.
No, communities on different instances will not have the same content. This is one of the features of the fediverse.
Each instance can have it’s own /c/memes and they won’t conflict. So, there could be https://lemmy.world/c/memes and https://lemmyverse.org/c/memes and they could each be different with different content and rules. If you want to see each instances ‘memes’ community, then you will need to subscribe to them individually from your home instance. Once you do that, the ‘memes’ community will be ‘cached’ on your home instance and it will show up in everyone’s feed on your home server.
Space cows
I run my own instance just because I want to build a community that people can enjoy. I do it out of my own pocket and don’t ask for donations of any kind. Not everything is about profit for some people. If I were running a site as big as Lemmy.world, then I would consider it, but only to cover some expenses.
Like others have said, nothing is stopping them. That is why it is important to spread communities around to other reputable instances, so if something like that does happen, only the communities on that particular instance are lost.
I wish my local city’s community had more people, but I’m afraid they’ll never move over. Oh well, i created it anyway.
I’ve also created a few others that will get buried.
Yay, beans.
