is there a way to see the front page or list of communities of an instance without getting out of the instance you're currently in ? - LemmyWorld

For now, I can only visit a community from another server by searching or opening a post from that server, if I open it in the post’s original server or if I open their site, I’ll be in another lemmy instance and I’ll have no account there, so I can’t really interact. So, I’m curious if is there a way for me to browse lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] for example (or other servers) and see all the trending posts there or browse their communities without me leaving lemmy.world Basically, looking for a way to turn my current instance to be like a β€œwindow” that I can use to look into another instances.

Select communities then select all?

lemmy.world/communities?listingType=All&page=1

Communities - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

nah, I want to see just the communities specifically inside one instance, like just browsing lemmy.ml and see communities in lemmy.ml only
Liftoff has an all instance view you can enable if that is what you are looking for and don’t mind using an app

yes, that’s what’s I’ve been using, and I know I can see posts from all instances if I just browse All instead of Local

what I’m kind of looking for (and wondering) is that a way to… uh, like, check? on another instance, and see what hot posts are trending there just on their front page without getting mixed and competing for places in /All

so for example, I’m here on lemmy.world, and after browsing a while I got curious on what’s trending on sh.itjust.works, so I go to shi.tjust.works and I can see all the currently hot posts only on shit just works without me getting logged out because I have no account on shitjustworks.

I don’t believe there is a smooth way to do this at the moment without visiting the instance in question and selecting the Local feed.

You can use a link redirect script to then easily open those threads on your home instance, though.

yes, that’s what i was curious about, it seems there isn’t a seamless way to do this yet
