What's the sense? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

What is the point of different servers having communities with the same purpose? For example, the linux gaming community on this server, and the same community but on another server like lemmy.ml

There could be any number of reasons. For one, you can avoid power-tripping mods that ban people they disagree with just because they can. Even though they chose the same name, different communities might have different purposes or rules. Just find the ones you like and subscribe without worrying too much. Everything is federated so it doesn't matter.
