Does multiple of Lemmy Community with the same name but on different instances matter or would it be mostly identical? (lemmy.autism.place)

I thought I might give Lemmy a tried as I want to not use Reddit as much and feel bad every time I do, even if it searching an problem I have and Reddit post is the top result.

Might be overthinking it but does community with same name but on different instances matter? I remember feeling little overwhelmed seeing few gaming communities but of course are on different instances and not sure if one is better or if joining them all is okay or just better to join in one. I wasn't sure if they would have different rule-set or how they deal with moderation as each would be a different moderation team I assume.

I have used Mastodon and Misskey forks for couple years but I hadn't use Lemmy as much and still a noob with it. Sorry if this has been asked loads of times, I just want an answer so I stop overthinking so much where I stop using it

It's the same thing as different subreddits with the same topic but slightly different names. Nothing special.
