Instead of just searching the specific name of a sub what if I want to see every sub that's contained within an instance such as lemmy.world for example no I'm not part of lemmy.world but as part of the instance I'm a part of I can see every sub under it in a neat list can you only do that if you're part of the instance?

Edit: for a better method, see this comment below


You would need to navigate to that instance on desktop

For example, as others have said:

You can't see it from your instance because not every community will be pulled. A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it

An easier way is to use http://lemmyverse.net/communities

Set your home instance using the home icon on the right

Select only the target instance with the instance filter

Now you can see only the target instance communities, and clicking on them will open them on your home instance

Also, on most instances NSFW communities are listed only if you are logged in and enable such content on your profile.

So is there a way to see those? A good example is lemming.online, which you can’t sign up for. The only alternative I’ve found is browse by new and just wait to see what communities pop up.

https://lemmynsfw.com/communities ?

Not sure what other NSFW instances off the top of my head. I think lemmit.online mirrors different subreddits, so maybe some NSFW options there

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy isn't focused on everyone seeing everything but on keeping corporate interests and power tripping admins out. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to run their own instance of Lemmy both to share the infrastructure costs and limit the power each instance holds. Keeping hosting costs down is why instances don't pull from communities nobody is subscribed to.

It is possible using lemmyverse.net, I added a comment below

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks! That's much easier

A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it

That sounds like a really bad way to do this.

[-] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

If not, someone could just set up a rogue instance, create fake communities on it, then start pushing a million pictures per minute to every Lemmy instance, exhausting their resources

Tesseract lets you browse the communities on remote instance. AFAIK, that's one of few Lemmy frontends that offer that feature. Wish some other frontends would steal that feature from me.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won't show you any that are marked NSFW.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, API limitation, so less a "won't fix" and more of a "can't fix right now".

[-] Machefi@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

I will add to others' comments, that although this is the default on the communities list, make sure the "Local" option is selected to see all communities on the specific instance or "All" to see all communities the instance federates with (in other words, all the communities it allows access to)

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy-ui should have a communities button where you can see all the communities for that instance.

https://lemmy.world/communities

Just click on the instance name in the app.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
