Hello,

I've been using boost for Reddit for years and I am now using boost for lemmy.

I'm very happy so far, there is just one thing I haven't found a way to do : browse the communities on a lemmy instance. Let's say I want to discover every community on lemm.ee, how would I do using the boost app?

Ideally I'd like to be able click the @instance part in community@instance to browse the instance.

Thanks you all

The only Lemmy app with this feature that I know of is Connect.

Sync also

It's not really the ideal method, but if you use the global search and type in lemm.ee, and then after submitting switch to the Communities tab, you can see communities for that instance

I'm not sure how generally effective this is, would certainly be nice to have an easy way to do this

EDIT: actually this might just be communities with "lemm.ee" in the community name, not searching on instance name

There is a button "Explore communities" in the search tab. It opens a menu with list of communities on your instance. But seems like this button is buggy and disappearing sometimes. Switching to guest account and back returns it.

For this purpose, i have multiple accounts. For one of the IT community I have an account, I just switch to that account and check "local' posts on that community.

I really wish there was a way to do this in browser too without requiring a visit to the other instance
