None, it's all 1 big network. Each instance is a different flavor of the same thing.
Tangent: I don't understand why existing in an instance somehow makes a user any different than anyone else. Yet, I hear people saying things like "typical lemm.ml user" or crap about Hexbear users.

Instances have specific signup rules, moderation strategies, and accepted speech/posts.
