I was wondering if there’s a way to view a list of communities from another instance, but still logged into my account. I could, for example, go to https://lemmy.ml/communities, but if I do, I’m no longer logged into my Lemmy.world account.

Now, I know I can see communities from other instances by going to the Lemmy.world communities list and sorting by all, but I don’t know of a way to directly go into another instance’s community list.

And I think I’ve heard that you can’t see a community from another instance until people from your instance have “interacted” with it. I’m not sure exactly what that means. Is that just if they visit the community, or do they have to subscribe to it? Regardless, I’d have to imagine that you must be able to view communities from another instance in some easy way or else it seems like it would be really hard to discover other instances’ communities for the first time.

Thanks!
