For instance I know i can navigate to https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected] to see the “daystrominstitute” community at startrek.website, but is there a way where I can see all (or even just the most popular) communites at startrek.website, while still logged into my lemmy.ml instance (so i can just hit the subscribe button if i want to join)?
If you go to the federation map website, you can set your home instance and then browse all the comms from other instances then click the link to go to your instance’s version of it.
Edit: this is what I was referring to: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
oh this rules! I hope this is eventually built-in, but this’ll do wonderfully for now!
Yes exactly, it needs to be built in, but this is better than nothing!
@[email protected] I discovered this yesterday and it 100% solves the problem. Just keep in mind that if you click through a link from here to a community that your home server is not yet aware of, you may get an error page. This is, unfortunately, normal and OK. Wait a moment for the behind the scenes federation work to complete and reload the page.
Thanks for this!
