I have registered an account on SDF's Lemmy server. Can I use this account to log in to other servers, or do I need a separate account for each server?
You don't need to login to other servers. Just subscribe to whatever outside community you want through the server you signed up with and then you'll be able to read and comment in those other communities.
No, you have to make them per instance, but its sorta redundant as each instance communicates with each other and displays the same content / can communicate with each other (example: You're lemmy.sdf, The user below me is Beehaw, and I'm shi.tjust.works)
That's mostly true, but there are a few exceptions where certain instances choose not to federate with certain other instances. It is also possible to make an instance that does not federate at all and therefore would be locked to that single instance.
