How does that make it easy for others to know the comunities you visit / subscribed to?
clicks username
views comments you've posted
walla my egyptian friend
... okay? But if i subscribe to every lemmynsfw community, but never post to them... you'd have no idea.
With your own instance, looking at the instance list will show them all to anyone.
If you are the only user on an instance, your subscriptions are the only ones federating over into the server's All feed. For example, even if you haven't posted in all of these communities, is this not essentially your personal list of subscriptions?

Maybe by monitoring federation data, or seeing which communities have been fetched?
I know that if you're the first person in an instance to look at a community, it won't load right away. However I'm not sure how someone would monitor that (or why they would want to)
If there's only one user that instance's "all" feed will be indistinguishable from the user's subscription feed.
(unless you do some community seeding)
Only communities a user subscribes to get federated over.
If your concern is about your instance's publicly visible /instances list, can't you just make it private? Or even make the entire web interface private? You're the boss, after all.
