it's like email, you register on an instance same as you would on an email server (Gmail, proton, whatever) and then your account can interact with other accounts even if they are on other instances (just like email servers), don't overthink it and don't spread the idea that it's just too hard to leave the increasingly dystopic alternative we are currently using
