I'd say post in the biggest one, then crosspost to the others.
Using the crosspost feature also makes them merge in some clients (or I expect it to in future versions), so it's the technically correct way if you want your post to reach the widest audience.
Different instances and communities have varying rules so also the post may be allowed on lemmy.ml but not programming.dev or whatever, so I just subscribe to all of them anyway. There's only some minor UX issues with it, but lemmy is a bit of a UX mess in general because it's still so young.
oh and also, yes lemmy.ml users can see whats happening on lemmy.world. AS LONG AS those two are not "defederated" meaning they are still connected to each other.
I'd just post to the biggest one unless you have a specific reason to avoid that instance.
