Is there a Lemmy app that shows you to which communities another user is subscribed? (mander.xyz)

As the title says. I thought that was brilliant on Reddit, just checking people's profiles would lead to some cool discoveries of communities I would have never thought of by myself.

Is this a feature somewhere?

Edit: of course users have the option to not show these, no I don't want to violate anyone's privacy

Fuck off. Nosy shit.

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t know Reddit disclosed what you were subscribed to.

[–] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure it never did

[–] Carighan@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It does if you turn it on. Might be enabled by default for new accounts of course.

I logged in Reddit in order to check, there's an option to show communities you are most active in (and that's enabled by default and not available on old.reddit.com) but that's not what OP asked for, as I guess it lists communities I comment and posts the most, right?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 11 months ago

No, that's the feature I mean. You got it right. It never disclosed everything, just the most active ones.

I hated that tool on reddit. 99% of the time it was used to find a way to dismiss the comment.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

exactly the kind of comment I would expect from a Factorio player 😤

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Considering most people aren't going to comment or post on communities where they aren't subscribed, you could just look at their comment/post history.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Aren't they? I do it all the time. I regularly browse by All and come across communities (including this one!) that I don't necessarily want to subscribe to, even if there's one post which interests me.

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Same here

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They can be subscribed and not post or comment.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Showing that would be a privacy violation, IMO.

[–] Blizzard@lemmy.zip -5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't know? Subscribed communities is not private information, it's linked to your account not to your actual name, you can use multiple accounts.

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 10 points 11 months ago

Even votes are not technically private on Lemmy

[–] Brad@beehaw.org 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I fucking hope not.
