Nope, you only need one account. It works like email, it dosn't matter if you're on gmail, yahoo or fastmail, you can still send and receive emails from other providers. You can subscribe to communities on other instances and post comments or submit new posts regardless of which instance the community is on.
well, almost... your account can only see what its instance lets you, eg from where i'm posting from (lemmy.ml) i can see things on lemmygrad.ml but many instances, including the one you're on sh.itjust.works, have blocked them.
Thanks for the reply, I think I got it now. What confused me was the "it's like email" part. I understand I can send to/receive from yahoo, AOL etc. But I can't log into them with my Gmail. So I was thinking I would need a sing-in for beehaw and others.
