It seems like it matters in the sense that you should set your "home base" to a server that has a community that behaves the way you want to be associated with.

It's taken me a little bit to wrap my head around this but this is how I currently understand it. Each server is essentially it's own independent "reddit.com" with its own users and "subreddits".

If the independent servers are on good terms with each other, the admins use federation/activitypub to graft "subreddits" from other servers into each other. This lets you interact with the remote "subreddit" as if it were a part of the server you actually joined.

So all of that is to say it seems like the correct way to go about it is to identify a server with many "subreddits" that have communities you "vibe" with and want to engage with and then join servers that get along with it.
