I'd try to emphasize hobbies that consume minimal resources, and discourage others. Sex and gaming are probably a great place to start - they contain enough variety to keep me obsessed for over two decades now, at any rate. We're all biased, of course, but I envision RPGs being especially popular because they require very little equipment and can change drastically every time you play. Playing a musical instrument is a good one, also: You can do it alone or socially, and it only adds a small amount of cargo once.
