If you can subscribe to communities on other instances than the one you're registered with, why register on one vs another? (self.asklemmy)

I am new and trying to understand how Lemmy works. I am posting this from my lemmy.world account, on a lemmy.ml community. It seems like you can read, post, subscribe to whatever community outside of the instance you're registered with. So... Why register on lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml or any other instance, if all communities are accessible to everyone?
