Different instances showing different results on "All" page using the same sorting method (lemmy.world)

Say we have two different instances, none of which are blocked by or blocking other instances. Theoretically, shouldn't their results be the same on the "All" page using the same sorting mechanic, e.g., Hot.

But apparently this isn't so when I tested it on instances with no blocking or blocked by criteria. Can anyone explain to me why? I'm still relatively new to Lemmy, and I am genuinely curious.

PS: I'm using the "recommended" instances from this git: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

It's an artifact of how the software works right now. Of course, this could be changed in the future in any number of ways. Things are likely to develop rapidly given the influx of users. Many of these folks are developers and can and will add and change things to make it work better. That's the great thing about open source.
