Just signed up yesterday myself. What's with all the different domains?
They are federated instances. Lemmy is part of the Fediverse, which means distributed servers running the same service (or services) and registering in one instance gives you access to information on the other servers running Lemmy. You can have different communities ('subreddits') in different servers but they are all accessible and joinable. This way is not a centralised system.
The Fediverse is not just Lemmy, can be other services like Mastodon, etc.
And the servers all* communicate with each other, so you can see content from one server while logged into another (the URL format would just be slightly different.)
* Well, except for the cases where a server admin decides to defederate from another server for one reason or another.
