I’m really bought in to the Lemmy experience and I want others to share similar interests. However, I know they will have a massive amount of questions, and I want to be able to answer them in addition to my own curiosities. Here are a few questions that I have that I am still fuzzy on.

I created an account on lemm.ee. Is lemm.ee a separate instance?
When subscribing, are you subscribing to separate instances or different communities within a particular instance?
What is the difference between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml?
Is there any reason to make new accounts on different instances?
When I’m looking at the “Local” feed, what am I looking at?
What is the difference between the “Local” feed and the “All” feed?

Any additional information on these questions would be massively appreciated.

The other commenter is correct but to add to number 3: there is not much difference to them now, but a lot of instances usually have a particular "flavor" to them. Like one might be more geared towards people who are interested I'm programming, others are leftist instances, others are geared towards furries, or music interests.. but that's very broad and you don't HAVE to choose an instance based on that. A lot of new instances have cropped up that are just "catch all" instances for the surge of reddit users. Look at the sidebar descriptions to see if there are any specifics to the instance and see what you vibe with.

In terms of functionality they work exactly the same
