Every instance stores what are essentially copies of everything it's users are subscribed to. So when you post "to" feddit.ro, you're posting to the copy on lemmy.zip. Similarly, Lemmy.world has their own copy (that for whatever reason is ranking higher in search) because someone there is presumeably subscribed to the community.
