I’m new to the fediverse and not sure how it works just yet. Can someone help me understand? My account was created on Lemmy.ml, will it no longer work and I’ll have to make another?

I would make a lemmy world account personally, it's tough to say what will happen long term with .ml domains. Even if your account still works, it may by hampered getting posts from the rest of the fediverse. Worst case scenario you have account on two popular lemmy instances.

Are you aware that ml in lemmy.ml stands for marxism-leninism and that the admins of your instance don't support any critique of the chinese government? I'm asking because I think a lot of new users chose lemmy.ml randomly - mostly because it was big - and if they knew this, many of them would have chosen differently.

I had no clue. I was just tired of Reddit and when looking into Lemmy the .ml one came up first in the search. Guess I get to make a new one somewhere else.

They chose .ml because it was free. They don't delete comments just because they don't agree with them. I don't get why some people feel the need to spread lies about the lemmy devs/lemmy.ml admins just for being in favour of communism.
