I see the option for all, subscribed and local but I can’t seem to figure out how to find a list for a different instance
Using a browser (not a phone app) go to the instance’s main page and look for the Communities button. That will give you a list of communities. Filtering by Local lists all the communities on that instance.
Here are some examples:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities
https://sh.itjust.works/communitiesYou can use https://lemmyverse.net/
Not all mobile apps allow it because it’s a little tricky with the Lemmy APIs.
- Liftoff used to have thia feature but it’s discontinued;
- Summit has added this feature, you can access it by “Community info” -> “Instance info” -> “Communities” when you are on a community on the instance you want to explore;
- RaccoonForLemmy has it in the “Instance info” sheet tapping the “⋮” button in the top bae when you are on a community of the instance you want to explore;
- I couldn’t find anything similar in Jerboa, Voyager, Thunder and Eternity, don’t know about the other ones.
Thanks thats an amazing answer!
Thanks for the info! I didn’t know any apps could do that.
I had this exact question the other day, because I would type in lemmygrad into search and only four communities would come up.
