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?

Just make one on one instance, then use that instance to communicate to other Lemmies
What happens if that instances goes down? can you then login or re register on a other instances and keeping all your comments/communitys you are subbed to?
It is unlikely for larger instance to go down, but if it did go down, theoretically you should be able to migrate before the instance shutdown. Unfortunately, AFAIK Lemmy haven’t implemented account migration yet: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1985
However, other fedi service like mastodon do have that feature, so it should work similarly. I imagine once it is implemented, you will be able to keep all your subscriptions (basically like exporting your communities, and automatically clicking “subscribe” on each one) and likely your account settings. But I don’t imagine your post/comment can migrate to your new account.
