Hmm, this isn't something I do very often, but I think if you make an
ephemeral group with either "B" or "G M" (the interfaces are different,
but I believe the result is the same) you can enter the group name,
specify that it should use your nntp:news.gmane.io server, then the
group will open and you can do the "j" trick. The group should disappear
from your Gnus installation when you're done with it. You could also
write your own wrapper around gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group.

It might take some experimentation!
