Why do some posts and communities not show up on all instances? (lemmy.ml)

Reddit refugee and Noob to lemmy/fediverse here.

For example, I'm currently logged into my lemmy.ml account, and subscribed to !anime@lemmy.ml and I can see a lot of posts there. I can also see that it has over 3K users.

If I log into lemmynsfw.com, and look at my subscription to !anime@lemmy.ml, I only see a few posts, and I know there are several that are missing. Also, it tells me that the community only has 8 users.

Is this synching problem common in lemmy, and/or the fediverse in general?

Do I have to create a new account on each server hosting communities that I want to keep up to date on?

I've noticed that viewing the same community through different instances even when not logged in can show different posts, comments, and votes. I'm not sure why either.

For example, compare these:

https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

https://mander.xyz/c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

https://lemmy.world/c/mildlyinfuriating

i would think that this is due to server load and it'll sync up overtime
