Your analogy to Google is flawed. Google links to content on other sites. Lemmy sites host distinct copies of content on each instance. While the communities aren't @lemmy.world communities the content is 100% hosted on Lemmy.world by nature of federation.
All this post. Hosted on three completely different instances, with different admins. "It's not actually my community" doesn't work in the Fediverse.
If the original post gets hit with DMCA and the original host instance complies, does it get removed from all instances?
By design, yes, but there's a number of things that can go wrong that can cause the remote instances to not receive (or comply with) the instruction to do so.
