      You dont. My account is from the german instance feddit.de and I can see, post and comment on many different instances. The only reason to have different accounts is to access an instance that defederated from the one you were using since they cant contact each other. But with some exceptions you are better off not visiting those instances anyways because they often are full of trolls, neocons or tankies: people that dont deserve a platform.

      Well, they’re different websites, so yeah. Except no, because the fact that they’re federated with each other means you can participate in communities from other instances.
