Should I make multiple accounts on different instances? (lemmy.ca)

Still getting into lemmy and understanding federation, but as in the title, should I make multiple accounts on different instances? I created this account on lemmy.ca, but let's say I want to be a mod for a community on another instance or I want to start a community on another instance. I need an account on that instance right?

Also, is there any way to keep all these accounts linked to one another?

I was under the impression that you cannot view content on instances where federation is blocked from the instance you joined. Is that correct?

Well yes that's true. Most instances are federating to most other instances though. And you can always go directly to that instance's site and view everything. Just won't be able to interact
