I assume that because lemmy.ml is another instance, I can’t log in with my usual lemmy.world credentials, but since it is federated I should be able to post, correct?

I think the difference is whether you’re viewing lemmy.ml directly (as in, the URL in your browser starts with https://lemmy.ml/), or whether you’re viewing it via lemmy.world (or whichever site you have an account on).

I wish there was a "log in from other instance" button, but I don't know how you'd implement that.

I expected the same and became confused trying to log in another instance.

for example, you can see other lemmy.ml community and post there by going to its @ like putting https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] in the address bar, lets you access asklemmy on lemmy.ml via lemmy.world, and I think you can directly post to that community without login again with that instance's credential.
