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?

Generally - no. Just make one. It’s similar to email - you can have an account in gmail, yahoo, and live if you want. Or you can just have one.

You also will be able to transfer your account later to a different instance, but this feature is still to be added.
