Think of it more like email addresses. Know how a Gmail account can send email to an iCloud account just fine, and both display the same content? Same basic concept. You can have [account]@domain1.com and [account]@domain2.com, and they’re entirely separate accounts. Even if they have the same username, they’re on different instances.
Federation refers to how the instances share data with each other. One of the largest things to look for is what instances your instance federates with, because that will determine what kinds of users you end up interacting with.
Ahh, okay, so if I wanted to go just looking at a specific subject it might be better to make a second account and join another instance, and keep up two accounts?
You don’t need another account. Example to access a community on lemm.ee:
https://feddit.uk/c/casualconversation@lemm.ee
Which is the same content as https://lemm.ee/c/casualconversation
With an account at feddit.uk, it should be ok to navigated almost whatever community. The list of block instances is short and mostly block pedoporn.
