Well if join a bigger one, the differences are minimal.

If you join a smaller server (10-100 people maybe), the All tab will have different communities as you can only see communities someone on the server has subscribed to. Smaller servers also have less potent federation bots which makes the content a bit more stale and less active. But that's small new servers mainly. As time goes on this becomes less of a problem.

On a bigger server (600 ppl for example), this is simply not too much of a concern. On a very big server (2-50k people), it can't even be a concern cuz they're connected to basically everything.
