Do the rules of your home instance apply when posting to a different instance? (lemmy.ca)

I'm new to the Fediverse and I'm still trying to understand how this all works. While browsing the All/Federated home page, I saw some posts which seemed to be pornographic. It got me thinking about the rules of Lemmy instances. Lemmy.ca has a "no porn" rule. Hypothetically, if I were to use my Lemmy.ca account to post porn on an instance which allows that type of content, would I be in violation of Lemmy.ca's rules?

I guess the question is related to my confusion about where federated content is stored. If I use my Lemmy.ca account to reply to a Lemmy.ml thread, which server does my comment "live" in? If I were to delete my Lemmy.ca account, would all my comments in Lemmy.ml disappear too?

On a separate note, because, I just notice this in my comment:

Are there plans by you and lemmy.world to increase synchronization?

I've noticed just typing lemmy.ca and lemmy.ml turn into an automatic link, while typing lemmy.world doesn't.

I've also noticed, the sync between these two instances (lemmy.ca and lemmy.world) is lagging or problematic when looking for communities on the other instance or trying to post from within one one instance to the other. Sometimes my lemmy.ca account doesn't let me post or comment to lemmy.world and vice versa and I have to switch accounts.
