Currently, in the internal beta testing, there is a feature that allows you to view other instances, including ones that you don’t have an account with. You can view their local feed, or you can see a list of their communities and view the posts from them also.
Ok awesome! Something like this, or even the ability to create your own ‘multireddit’ would be great. So say if I specifically wanted to look up about a specific topic, I could have a multicommunity just for that, but still be subscribed to more communities overall
The “multireddit” feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the “browse as local” feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I’d say it’s 99% there.
Are you able to do it for instances you’re not signed up for?
Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.
https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn’t know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as “a remote instance”, i.e. not the one where you are registered.
Awesome! Looks like exactly what I’m looking for
