What are the practical benefits of the fediverse? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I don't fully understand how lemmy works completely yet. But for example I made an account at Division by zero and subscribe here to post. Is it not just a more inconvenient version of making a reddit account and being able to post practically anywhere?

Also what's the difference between making an account at one instant and just making one centralized account for the social media?

You don't need to subscribe to a community to post. You can post to any lemmy or kbin community from any lemmy or kbin account as long as the account hasn't been blocked.

There is no difference in making accounts as long as you're not blocked. The only difference is that no single entity can control lemmy. The people who control dbzero are different from the people who control lemmy.world.

Yeah I was a bit confused first and thought I needed to subscribe, I didn't realize I just needed to open fediverse from dbzer0.
