I’ve just created an account on Lemmy.world and am able to subscribe for communities in lemmy.ml. Can I use it there? Can I use same credentials for all lemmy instances? Does it make a difference where I create one?

    It’s an account like the reddit one.

    The difference here is all lemmy servers are sort of connected with each other (federation) so just one account on one of them will allow you to participate in any communities regardless of what servers are actually hosting them.

    Where you create your account doesn’t matter much, though there are a few servers that block a few others, servers may have different rules, or there may be server created for specific purposes.

    It’s up to you, check descriptions of servers and see which one you like the most, just don’t overthink it, you won’t be cut out from participating in other communities.
