At the simplest I feel a chrome extension or similar would be straightforward. A more native flow doing some sort of faux login/modal that could subscribe on the primary host would be better.
I would love for my one account to be able to access literally every federated service. Imo this is the one thing that would tie absolutely everything together. In my mind this kind of seems like the end goal of federation but I'm not really sure. It would make sense though.
I haven't used it yet, but I wrote a small service to combine webfinger from subdomains into a primary domain, and ended up abandoning it. You'd need to handle more than just the webfinger stuff, and be able to route activity pubs as well, and I'm still learning about the protocol enough to see if this is possible. I think the best case is that locally you might be [email protected], but would federate as [email protected], and webfinger/mentions would work for that, and something at example.com would route activity pubs appropriately to the "real" hosts with name rewriting.
