In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that
You can see other instances at work in the app already. There is an @ symbol that says where the message comes from, and those differ from each other already.
Can you link to one of these other instances?
I think you can link bluesky to your personal domain. I'm not sure how it works.
From what I've seen it's only single person instance where they use their domain names as user.
Not something you expect a standard person to have
It's not a single person instance either, it's just using your own domain in your handle.
There is only one bluesky it's literally centralized

Any example of federated instance where registrations are open?
According to this blog post, they are currently limited to 10 accounts, so not many open servers, but you can host your own.
This is an old blog post, though, so the limit might have been lifted
