To access/join communities on other instances, would I need to create an account on that instance? In the graphic it says I can only search for communities on that instance.

You can access and subscribe to communities in other instances as long as they are still federated (connected) with the instance your account is in.

Thank you! Still learning the ropes!

If you want to subscribe to a community on another instance, copy the URL of the community and paste it into the search of your own instance.

It might take several seconds while it searches but it should eventually show up, then you can click/tap on it and then click the subscribe button in the sidebar.

You don't have to make a new account for that instance, and communities on other instances should show up on search :)
