do any off the Lemmy or kbin apps provide a way to browse instances other than your own? kind of like filtering for “local” posts but local to another federated instance.

I’ve subscribed to communities from other instances once I find ones I like. but the only way I can “find” them it’s if I see an interesting post when I filter for “all” posts - what some other site might refer to as a post making it to the front page

I guess I could hunt from a web browser to do that, but I’d rather not have to switch between apps to do that

    thanks - and for sure, that’s an option. just requires me to leave my app and go to a browser.

      Yeah it’s just something I came up with to find stuff. I’m not running an app, only browser.

        oh crap, I didn’t realize that’s a site you set up yourself. I bow more deeply in your direction with gratitude for your contribution 🙏

          No worries. It just a bit of python because I had similar difficulties finding stuff. A lot of the newly created stuff on the list is noise or people testing their own unstances, but there are a few specialized communities on small instances that show up.
