Yes!
Excellent, thanks
We really need a way to more easily access comms from other instances, or to sort comms by instance. I'd like to subscribe to most dbzer0 comms but finding them in the All list is a pain.
I don't know if this cat help you at all but here you got.
Thanks, but really I mean finding the comms in other instances from within my own instance, such that I can subscribe to them remotely. Finding the comms is easy, you can just go to the other instance (eg open up lemmy.dbzer0.com) but in order to subscribe from another instance you need to go into Communities, click All, then search for them one by one. The Communities list needs a way of filtering All by instance.
Also, it would be nice if all of this could be done from within Jerboa. Jerboa only seems to search comms you've already subscribed to. Right now subbing to comms is best done in a web browser.
You don't have to search one by one, you can type the community name in the search box. Still clunkier than I'd like, but not too bad.
You can type the community names, one by one. However you have to know the name of the comment to do that.
What you can't do is type the instance name into the search or otherwise filter by instance, so that you can discover and add multiple comms from that instance in one go.
I did a post with some communities local to this instance
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35987
I too didn't know what I was missing out on, since I was only initially subscribed to piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy so didn't know about all the other communities in this instance coming from https://lemmy.fmhy.ml.
Yeah you can find lists of instances all over, but to subscribe to them you have to go to the instance you're logged into, go into communities, click all and then cross reference the list and search for them one by one.
I just want to be able to browse other instances' comms from within my own instance, so I can subscribe to them directly. A simple option of filtering the all list by instance.
