Yeah, but this only shows communities followed by at least one user of your instance.
Is that true? I didnβt realise this.
Yep. I host my own instance, and /all is essentially the same as /subscribed for me, plus a few posts that I've pulled manually by clicking links.
Yep that's how all these federated services work. Your instance can only show you stuff it already knows about, so someone needs to have been first to find and follow it.
Itβs not true. You did realize it.
What I enjoyed doing on The Other Place was going to a random community and seeing its top posts, its hot posts. It gave a sense of how vibrant or interesting it was.
The Sync For Lemmy app has random community functionality.

Interesting! I'm on Jerboa now, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
This does seem like a fun thing for someone to build! Get on it, nerds.
I wanna turn pages that arenβt even there
