What's missing is the ability to filter communities by instance. Right now, it's Local or All, and even then that list can't be sorted in any other way than the default (users per month).
To add communities from other instances you basically need to discover them somewhere else (either on that other instance in its Local list, or on lemmyverse.net) then search for them in your local instance, then you can subscribe.
Add to that the fact that if I use the local browser from another instance, I'm no longer logged in, so I need to go to the other instance, find the community, and then manually redirect from ThatInstance/c/comunity to Myinstance/c/community@ThatInstance... It's the downside of a federated network I guess...
