I really want to make sure I get this right (lemm.ee)

I’m really bought in to the Lemmy experience and I want others to share similar interests. However, I know they will have a massive amount of questions, and I want to be able to answer them in addition to my own curiosities. Here are a few questions that I have that I am still fuzzy on.

I created an account on lemm.ee. Is lemm.ee a separate instance?
When subscribing, are you subscribing to separate instances or different communities within a particular instance?
What is the difference between lemm.ee and lemmy.ml?
Is there any reason to make new accounts on different instances?
When I’m looking at the “Local” feed, what am I looking at?
What is the difference between the “Local” feed and the “All” feed?

Any additional information on these questions would be massively appreciated.

How can I check what communities/instances my home instance is federated with?

Is there any instance that federated with everything so I can just scroll through and subscribe to the ones I want?

I don't think you can
I don't think that is possible, how can you federate with everything, when everyone can create a instance?

I think for a larger general purpose instance, in general they are quite well-fedorated, I think it could be a good approximation of what you want. But the mod can obviously stop federating with a certain instance, because their value do not align.
