There is no info about it in the FAQ section of fff.com, but the features page does mention it. The features list for a site hosted on fff.com includes "Choose to Have Your Stories Automatically Added To myFandoms.", to which is attached this note:

"Expand your audience if you choose to have your stories automatically uploaded to myFandoms.com, our parent site, a full-service site with every fan tool in one place! Stories on myFandoms.com link back to the site the story was originally posted on to encourage readers to join, post, and comment at the referring site."

They had to make the transfer function opt-out, apparently after someone complained, but clearly still want to encourage it. I had a quick look at the first three sites on their list of fff-powered sites, and didn't see a TOS anywhere. I suppose fic hosted at those user sites would go to MyFandoms.com as well unless the admins have deliberately opted out of that. Two of the three sites were just individuals hosting their own fic, but the third had the admin inviting visitors to post their own. No idea if those visitors would be informed at any point if the admin kept transfer to MyFandoms.com enabled.

You probably could join MyFandoms, unless they're specifically watching out for you now. (I wonder if anything you post to MyFandoms would show up on Fanfic.me? Do you have the impression that these two are still connected, or did they just copy all the MyFandoms.com content the once?)

Edit: Ah, when you try to register on one of the sites using fanficfan software, for instance here, you are presented with something called "Fan Fiction Terms & Conditions". It starts out with "This fan fiction site is 'Powered by FanFicFan'. FanFicFan is software to create and maintain fan fiction libraries and archives. What follows are the 'Rules' of posting to sites powered by FanFicFan. " It's... not clear to me if this is intended to be an actual legalish document, or if they're just guidelines for what they think fic should be like.

RPF is right out, apparently, so no posting Biblefic. (Except maybe on the main MyFandoms site, whose TOS contains nothing on RPF. Ow, my head.)
