I don’t understand what the point of making more than one account really is if we can view and post to or from any community or instance
It's not really required, but does have its uses. For instance, if your instance is down or heavy load, you could log in from another instance. Also, if your home instance has defederated other instances you are interested in, you can log into an alt to view content from it, etc.
If you want to see Beehaw you need a separate account as far as I know since they defederated.
They don't mean don't use the same password for other accounts on Lemmy, they mean don't use the same password for other accounts period. Use a password manager or something, and generate a new password for each account. If you use the same one across different services, if one gets hacked they have access to all of them that used the same credentials.
