Okay, so you’re the second user who has mentioned this today. You’re right in my opinion.
I’ve specifically directly bought this up in conversations about this. Don’t worry. I don’t think the auto-subscribing to all the communities in a topic is a good idea.
A new piefed.social user is presented with topics that they select an interest in. Each topic is a feed made by site admins, with specific communities in them. Some feeds can be quite large. It currently auto-subscribes you to each community in a feed. So if you pick multiple interests, you can get a very large subscription list. I will forward this on to emphasise my point.

Auto subscription at sign up might be good, but it should let users unsubscribe after that
