While fine for me, I thnk this is going to be one of the bigger hurdles for newer users. It's not the most obvious, really. I'm not sure what could help, maybe some bookmarklet exists to make it simpler to subscribe via the instance you're using?
Completely agree, it's a major pain point. I've opened some issues on Github around it. Reddit had a manifesto that joining communities should the easiest thing to do, and we need to do the same here.
Something very similar exists for Mastodon in the form of FediAct so it's probably only a matter of time until someone makes a browser extension for Lemmy.
