Comment on How to see every sub under an instance?

  An easier way is to use lemmyverse.net/communities

  Set your home instance using the home icon on the right

  Select only the target instance with the instance filter

  Now you can see only the target instance communities, and clicking on them will open them on your home instance

  Also, on most instances NSFW communities are listed only if you are logged in and enable such content on your profile.

    So is there a way to see those? A good example is lemming.online, which you can’t sign up for. The only alternative I’ve found is browse by new and just wait to see what communities pop up.

      lemmynsfw.com/communities ?

      Not sure what other NSFW instances off the top of my head. I think lemmit.online mirrors different subreddits, so maybe some NSFW options there

  Lemmy isn’t focused on everyone seeing everything but on keeping corporate interests and power tripping admins out. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to run their own instance of Lemmy both to share the infrastructure costs and limit the power each instance holds. Keeping hosting costs down is why instances don’t pull from communities nobody is subscribed to.

      So, from what I can tell anyways, it does seem like the original answer is what you’re looking for. Each instance has a list of its own communities that you can see. You can also see a list of other instances that are federated to an instance by browsing to /instances (ex. https://lemmy.ca/instances shows all the instances lemmy.ca is federated with as well ss which ones are blocked). As far as I know, there is no way to see a list of all communities from all federated instances. There are some external sites that seem to have these sorts of lists like https://lemmyverse.net/communities
