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!

    Thunder kind of allows this. When you go to add an account, you can add an “anonymous instance”. This allows you to browse that instance as a non-logged-in user, including browsing that instance by local. Then, you can freely switch back and forth between your logged-in accounts and anonymous accounts whenever you want.
