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.

Not to be diminutive to your point, but reddit discussion weren't high quality either and I have a feeling they won't be here too. They might be friendlier on here, written more 'eloquently' to give them a sheen of informedness, but unless people start from similar knowledge bases on topics, then meaningful discussion will never materialize.

I predict any technical/political topic on here will be a dumpsterfire of uninformedness just like it was on reddit. You can already see reddit-tier responses to popular topics. In the end the same few talking points will be repeated over and over again, right or wrong (mostly wrong or incomplete).

It's why I personally stay away from these completely and stick to sharing art/game stuff. It's far more sane.
