Do I need to make a new account for every Lemmy instance? (lemmy.ml)

I tried to sign in to Lemmy.ca with the account I created on the Lemmy.ml and it didn't work. Any reason for this? (I am very new to Lemmy and am still learning how to use/understand how all the instances work)

No, you don't need because of Federation. But there's instances that don't federates with us. For example: hystoria.100millionbooks.org, derpy.email, lemmy.cardina1.red. Even some instances that federates with us, may not federates with others we federate.
