You can log into non-world instances using world credentials?

No, you make an alt-account on a non-world instance and interact with world communities from there. The only issue is that you aren't carrying over your subscriptions and blocks unless you use a special tool, about which I don't know much.

I tried figuring out how to use the Lemmy API to subscribe to all my subscriptions from my kbin account a week or two ago

I remember getting stuck and giving up, so I think I'm going to do it semi-manually or something later on, unless some kind wizard blesses me with the name of such a tool

There is a script for it, I've been meaning to use it and create couple of alts but haven't done yet.

No. It's basically like signing in at another e-mail provider. Instead of asdfasdfasdf@yahoo.com you now have asdfasdfasdf@hotmail.com and can from then on e-mail the same contacts. Just with posts, threads and comments instead of e-mail of course.

Just make another account, you can usually even use the same username cuz there's so many instances out there.

Unfortunately no. I don't understand this well enough to know why accounts don't sync, but that seems like it would be much better to me.
