Something that’s missing from my Lemmy experience is the ability to explore other instances and their communities. I’ve long settled on Thunder as my main app, but I can only seem to be able to browse local communities from my instance, and I like trying new apps every now and them.
I know Sync has that option, but I was wondering if other apps also allowed for something like this? To be clear I’m not looking for a search option, I’d like to be able to access the full list of communities from any instance.
If you guys have any leads, thank you!
Tesseract does :)

I wrote that in a long time ago, and it’s made discoverability much better. It won’t show this if you’re not logged in, but it does indicate if you’re already subscribed to a community, and you can also one-click subscribe to the remote communities your browsing. All without the copy, paste, search, “federating…”, wait, click again, refresh song and dance.
Each post/comment also has a button to browse the communities of the home instance associated with it.
Oh right that’s what my instance is using on p.jlai.lu
