I would like to create a user on Lemmy.ml, but it says that registration is closed. Is that a permanent situation or will it reopen eventually?

That sounds odd, can you upvote posts when you are using the web interface or another app?
That’s because liftoff aggregates posts from multiple instances on its own, rather than relying on instances “federating” with each other. The benefit of this is that it gives you control of what instances you see content from, rather than the instance owners deciding for you.
Personally, I think that makes way more sense than making instances “federate” with each other to share content. The only interoperability instances really need is the ability to post to communities that are hosted on other instances. We don’t need instances to be sending the entirety of all their content to each other; clients can aggregate that on their own.
