Welcome ๐
You can post and comment with your account on any post or community on any server as long as the servers are federating. For example I have my account on feddit.de but I am now commenting here on lemmy.ml.
Usually you can just search for a community in the search bar and then create posts there or browse their posts and comment.
For new communities on different instances, they have to be "discovered" first by pasting the URL to the search field. For example if you want your server to list the hamburg community from feddit.de you copy https://feddit.de/c/hamburg and then paste it to the search bar. Then it is accessable to all users of your server.
I hope that helps a bit understanding how it works. If something is not clear just ask ^^
