        You don’t need multiple accounts*. Lemmy.world is a federated instance of Lemmy. That means you can see not just the *local *content that fellow Lemmy.world users post here, but content posted by any other Lemmy federated instance. If you signed up for Lemmy on the instance sh.itjust.works rather than Lemmy.world, because sh.itjust.works is federated as well, any posts you make are visible to me because both of our instances are in the Fediverse. That’s to say, they agree to mirror content for the sake of building a large shared network of information.

        *The only reason you’d want another Lemmy account is if you were joining an instance that wasn’t federated. That’s to say, someone or some group decided they were going to make their own Reddit-style site using the Lemmy software and keep all of its content private. You’d create an account with that site, sign in and the only content you’d ever see is local.
