How do join a server though? That are always full and require invite. Matrix is one of the least welcoming chat communities, imho.

You need to change the homeserver url to another one. There is a list here https://www.hello-matrix.net/public_servers.php

Also what do you mean by "That are always full and require invite" ?

That list is unfortunately no longer maintained and quite outdated. https://publiclist.anchel.nl/ might be better.
