No, but normally you shouldn’t have to. You can still see and interact with all communities on the instances your instance is federated with. You’d only need to create a new account on an instance that has been defederated from your “home” instance (for example you account is on lemmy.ml but you want to interact with beehaw.org)
I keep hearing conflicting reports of whether beehaw has defederated from lemmy.ml. I don’t actually think this is the case. I’ve been posting comments in beehaw communities just fine and another user told me lemmy.ml isn’t on beehaw’s defederation list.
