Absolutely right - Signing up needs to be as easy as signing up for reddit. And same with searching for and subscribing to communities, even on other instances. Your average user wants the technical details of the Fediverse abstracted away from them. Anything beyond that and adoption won't be what we (most of us?) would like it to be.
There should be an All option that shows literally everything that your instance is federated with. I really don't understand why that isn't a thing already.
There sort of is, at least I think I get that with Jerboa, but I believe it's only federated communities someone has subscribed to, which is most but not quite all.
The search sucks, but I'm used to that from reddit. I subscribe from the all feed and that works well.
I think it worked for me because I just had faith (or confirmed) that stuff was working. People threw their hands up because some subscriptions said pending, but it showed up in my subscribed list so I ignored that it said pending.
Another big part is stitching communities back together. There are like 10 popular memes communities that have 99% the same content, I don't need to see the same post that many times in my feed.
