What are some communities you’ve subscribed to, even though there are only a handful of posts, hoping that it will one day be active?

I recently ran into the problem where I signed up on a different federation or whatever and had to jump through a few hoops to get subscribed to the community I wanted.
I get that that’s part of the allure of Lemmy but it’s also a stumbling block. I can’t just go to any community and sign up at the click of a button. Hopefully there’s a workaround for this soon or I imagine a lot of lazy users like myself will just look elsewehere.
The apps I’ve tried thus far on iOS make this process much easier than the web clients. I think with a little refinement, most users could have a “reddit-esque” experience without fully knowing how the federation works under the hood.
I hate it when the community I want to join is spread across like five different instances with varying levels of activity and user count. Wish we could just Pick one and make it The One community.
I understand the desire for that, but tbh I’d be just as happy with something like Reddit’s multi-reddits to round up multiple similar communities in one feed. I appreciate the subtle differences that communities around the same topic can have simply by slight variations in their focuses.
