I had made one for lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, not really knowing what I was doing just checking out the different sites. Is there a point in having multiple accounts or can I just access everything with one account?

As long as the instances are federated you can access all of Lemmy from 1 account, regardless of if you have an account there.
Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are, you you can access anything on either instance from either account.
Hypothetically though, if lemmy.ml is federated with another instance that lemmy.world isn’t, then you would need to access the content there from the .ml account, because you would not be able to from the .world account.
Other reasons you might want more than 1 account might be
You might want to separate what kind of content you have on which account, maybe have a separate account for posting or commenting on NSFW content that’s separate from your main account. Or maybe you use one account for serious business and another for memes/shit posting/novelty stuff. Maybe you’re a celebrity and have an account for when you want to publicly be that celebrity, and another for when you want to just anonymously browse
Redundancy - if you have a lemmy.world account and for whatever reason the .world servers crap out, you you could still access most of Lemmy from your .ml account, including (disclaimer: I think this is how it works, but I’m still learning, so I may be a little off) the .world content (but any new posts or comments you make to a .world community won’t be synced to every other federated instance until the .world servers are back up)
