I don't fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what's the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

Even then, you can still move the community to another instance. You won't get the same address, but provided that the community wants to leave, it will. (In fact I'm doing this right now, migrating !linguistics@lemmy.ml into !linguistics@mander.xyz )

That's because the community is not just some address on the URL bar. It's the users and the content that they share with each other. It'll be where the users are.
