While I appreciate the idea, that is far too complicated for the average user.
This process is indeed much clunkier than bluesky and not really accessible to a new user, but it's a good start and perhaps some servers or 3rd party apps could streamline this eventually? Even just going account-by-account in the list a dozen times and following each one manually would fill an empty feed pretty well.
The Pixelfed developer is actively working to get a streamlined solution for Starter Packs out for all kinds of ActivityPub servers that will use existing APIs and methods that already exist within the protocol. He mentioned it should be available in beta in a day or two.

@dansup is a fucking whirlwind; he’s been non-stop tinkering with both Instagram and TikTok alternatives. I can’t imagine what his work load is like 😣
