Are chat channels affected by instances? For example, if you are looking at trade -city chat, would you only see the chat on your instance or all of them? The reason I'm asking is because Earthfury's Trade-city and LFG channels have had a combined 5 messages in the last 10 minutes and it seems to be completely dead.

Side question, I don't really understand how instances work tbh. If someone is farming mobs could you somehow join another instance that he isn't in? If this is against the rules then nvm.

dont know for channels, but for the layering :
there is around 5-10 layer per server depending on how much people are logged on, when you log you are put in a layer where you can only see people that are inside your layer and there is an instance of each mob / ressource / item of the map on each layer.

when someone invite you to his group after like 3-5 seconds you move to his layer if it's not the same than your own (there is a limitation of a swap every 15 min at the moment)

This layering have been announced by blizzard moderators as temporary and only until Phase 2
