The Agora
In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.
Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.
You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.
Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

The community is at a different level than instances or federation. For example, the rules a community agrees on aren't typically related to your instance or handled by the instance moderation team / admin.
Every instance will have some kind of terms of use that you must follow to keep an account on that instance.
A local community specifically for the bureaucracy of the local instance is also a special case.
In general, posting / replying in communities should be encouraged no matter which instance the community or your account was created on.
However, if you are breaking either your instance's rules or causing problems for users on another instance you can expect to be reported and likely have some moderation actions taken against your account. Basically, just having an external account isn't a license to behave badly.
Aah, thank you! This clarifies things greatly for me.
