You are not alone, and I'm starting to feel that treating Lemmy like a federation of web forums instead of Reddit replacement would fit the underlying model better.
wassadifference - reddit was after all just a bunch of message boards that made it easy to skip from one to another.
Imagine if zetaboards - or whatever came before that - had come up with the idea to make it easy for users to cross between different boards.
I have no idea how to use this, but there is an official phpbb like frontend for lemmy:

That's actually cool and a bit like what I had in mind. But it doesn't seem to offer an actual hierarchical view of the lemmyverse.
It would be nice to have a forum style clear treeview of the forums (instances) and their subforums (communities) with activity indicators etc to make browsing and discovering content straight forward. Then if you subscribe to a community it would also show in it's own treeview that the user could arrange to their liking.
