I'd like to have a way to browse all local communities for another instance. This seems useful for instances that are specific to a certain niche, for example ttrpg.network for tabletop gaming. Of course I can subscribe from lemmy.world, but that requires me to first know about the communities, and the best way to do that seems to be to go to ttrpg.network directly and browse local there, especially because new communities are created all the time, so I can't just look through the communities once and be done with it.

I've created a separate account on there and switching between them is very seamless on Jerboa so that's the way I'm doing it for now, but it kind of seems to defeat the point of the fediverse. If I could easily synchronize my subscriptions between accounts on different instances, it would make it a lot more convenient as well.

I'm new to this, so is there just something I'm missing? Or will it be solved in the future? In theory the concept of having instances tightly focused on certain topics seems like a great idea, but having to switch between accounts to browse all communities specific to that topic seems less convenient than it could be.
