Until somebody on the instance subscribes to a community it doesn't get federated to an instance. Browsing by all is in effect saying let the others on my same host do the work of finding my communities and then trying to cull out the parts you don't like.
I do understand that's how it works, but considering I'm on the largest instance I'm not really sure that matters for me. Definitely worth keeping in mind for people on smaller instances though, or people interested in very small communities.
For what it's worth, I am subscribed to 55 communities, from back when I was giving the Subscribed page a shot.
An option to search only communities that aren't yet federated to your instance may be an interesting feature to add in the future.
