I haven't even been using it for day, and I share your disappointment. However, I understand that Lemmy is in its infancy. There are huge UX hurdles to overcome, and it's a lot for two developers to carry. The hope is that more devs will join, and make a good UX -- For what it's worth, the UI is quite neat IMHO, it's just the UX with regards to federation and discoverability.
Having a ways to add instances and then replicate community lists would be a start. Having to manually fiddle with URLs of other communities is weird.
