No one expects you to join any specific league, but the more active you are , the more other owners see that you are committed. I've joined plenty of leagues run by people who have never played in my leagues, but am more likely to plunk down my money for a league run by someone who has had a bunch of live teams. There are some 20 leagues posted that need players; you're in none of them. I don't care whether someone joins my leagues, but if I saw you signed up for a few leagues run by others, I'd be much more likely to play.
And having just a few signups in the first 24 hours after posting is pretty common. If you really want the league to get off the ground, be patient. Instead of starting over with a new post every couple of weeks, bump up the first posting a couple times a day. Leagues can take months to fill; I've had one take over 7 months but it eventually filled, and was a great league.
