I want to create new places for things I’m interested in that were on Reddit, but I’m not sure how. Like is each community an instance? If so, does that mean a different account for each thing? Or is there just an obvious step in missing?

An instance is a server running Lemmy software, which can have a bunch of communities which are effectively subreddits. Some instances allow users to create communities, others restrict that ability to admins.
