    Depends on your admin. And the admin/mod of the community you’re posting on.

    If the admin of the instance hosting the community you’re posting to (or a mod of said community) removes your comment, it would prevent anyone seeing your comment anywhere.

    If another admin removed your comment, it would do nothing for anyone except the users of that admin’s instance.

    Bans are similar. YOUR admin can ban you which would stop you being able to post anywhere. Other admins can ban you too, but it would only stop your comments/posts appearing to their users, and keep any comments/posts of yours on their communities from being seen by anyone outside your instance.

    If for example lemmy.world banned me, a thelemmy.club user, lemmy.world users would not see any future comments from me. If I then commented on a post on !memes@lemmy.world the lemmy.world server would reject my comment and not tell any other instance of it. Users of thelemmy.club would see my comment, but nobody else. My comments/posts on non .world communities would be seen as normal by everyone but .world users.
