It is best if you wait for each site to complete syncing before moving to the next site. Each of these sites contain thousands of files that need to be synced. You can view this by right clicking the OneDrive icon in the hIdden icons > select the gear to close the settings windows > you can watch the files increase/decrease until synced.

You can follow sites by selecting the star in the upper right corner of each site.

By following a site, you tell SharePoint modern search (Office Graph) that the site and its content are important. So anytime you do a search from SharePoint Home or Office 365 Home or Delve, content from followed sites is prioritized.
