I know it’s been asked a million times already but would I need to create different accounts for different instances? Please feel free to shout at me, call me dumb or whatever if that gets your rocks off, but I just wanna know how it works 😅

Think of it like your email provider: you can still get email from Hotmail even if you have an AOL.com account.
Where this analogy breaks down is that some instances have defederated from others. This means “we don’t want your data, and we won’t import it.”
But if you pick an instance that is widely federated then you can see and interact with most of Lemmy.
Just to defend your metaphor, email providers also sometimes defederate from specific others, due to spam/abuse.
This was an enjoyable explanation
