In theory something like a !gaming community could crop up on multiple large instances, especially during the mass exodus while instances are getting hammered with spikes in volume.

If that's the case, we'll have fragmented communities across instances. Is there any way besides subscribing to each of them to combine them into a sort of multi-reddit type aggregation? Or is this considered a temporary (albeit important to adoption) problem during the crazy stages?

If you're banned by an admin on your login Lemmy server, then that account is basically done for and you'd need to create another account on that server or on another server. However, by default I believe server bans are temporary, usually only for a few days.

But if you've been banned from a community (a sub) by a mod, that ban is only in effect for that community on that server. Nothing is stopping you from participating in any other community on any other Lemmy server.

Thank you for the clarification!

And what happens if an admin of a non-login server bans a user? Is that just a ban across all communities of that specific server?

I would assume so. The ban wouldn't affect anything beyond their own server.
