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.

Strictly speaking they defederated due to spam issues, not open signups. (But yes, the open signups made it easier for spammers, so it was an indirect cause.)
They've also stated they intend to re-federate when there are better moderation tools available, so I wouldn't expect Beehaw to end up entirely isolated in the future.
