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?

You can also host your own server and not rely on anyone else.

Yes but also a lot of fediverse instances autoblock small one person servers because of how often they are used by spammers and harrassers
