What is the best way to make sense of the alternative federated communities? (kbin.social)

It's a little daunting to me that in some cases there are 2 or more communities between the federated alternatives; what's the best way to corral these? I had thought I could perhaps subscribe to Lemmy instances on kbin; is that correct? If so, how? Thank you in advance.

Edit: Well, this is sort of embarrassing but when I was searching for the other communities, I was accidentally searching threads instead of magazines and of course not finding anything so that's the answer as to HOW to subscribe [when it comes to kbin]. My point stands, though, that having so many communities is a bit cumbersome. I guess I will let it percolate a bit and see how it feels.

I'm hoping for some kind of "multi-reddit" style system that lets us combine the communities from different instances.

Since it's the Fediverse they could be called something like constellations :)

Usenet is another decentralized discussion network like fedverse, but in which all discussion groups from every server are automatically merged together so for users it doesn't even feel decentralized. Most groups have a moderated and a non-moderated version.
