Say I made a post to some specific subreddit from apollo. How does the app decide which lemmy community to use, on which instance? Or if I voted or made a comment, on which post on which community on which instance should it land?
The app doesn’t decide which community to post in; you do. When you pick a community for the post to go to, you might pick !news@beehaw.org, in which case it becomes hosted by the beehaw.org server. Or you might pick !news@lemmy.world, in which case it’s hosted by the lemmy.world server. If you vote or comment on the post that’s on beehaw.org, the vote/comment is hosted there as well, and likewise for lemmy.world.
Yes! It’s a bug. The post suddenly changes, while I’m writing a comment. I also deleted it immediately, but that didn’t seem to federate properly. I resurrected and edited it, hoping that’ll update for everyone. Original intended context: https://lemmy.world/post/129333

I don’t think this is a serviceable idea.

Perhaps the important point is that !news@beehaw.org and !news@lemmy.world are different communities, just like how neo@thematrix.com and neo@zion.org are different email addresses, even though they’re both Neo.
Sorry for the confusing comment, it ended up in completely wrong post.
Did you mean to reply to something else? I don’t see how this is relevant to OP

@Skelectus @imaqtpie Write it in notepad or some other note taking app then paste it and send. I would do that till all the bugs on lemmy are fixed
Can still copy it off the comment field if the system decides to swap posts. Just have to double check before pressing enter.
I think he just wants us to know that the most important point is neo is in the matrix
