As the list title says, it'd be nice to see all the posts in a specific instance, and not just for the one my account is setup with

all 10 comments

Ok awesome! Something like this, or even the ability to create your own 'multireddit' would be great. So say if I specifically wanted to look up about a specific topic, I could have a multicommunity just for that, but still be subscribed to more communities overall

The "multireddit" feature has been on the request list on github for quite a while, but yeah the "browse as local" feature is live and mostly working on the internal test release. Some small things are being ironed out and then it should be released to the public soon, I'd say it's 99% there.

Are you able to do it for instances you're not signed up for?

[–] coffee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, you can browse any instance and then from there also all local communities.

https://imgur.com/a/5J6gDGg I selected one at random I didn't know exist from a long list (no idea how sorting works though) and then displayed a list of communities in the second screenshot. You can see on the text in the background that it shows the instance as "a remote instance", i.e. not the one where you are registered.

Awesome! Looks like exactly what I'm looking for

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This would need to be supported by Lemmy itself. Otherwise it'd cause a lot of overhead on your instance.

[–] JWBananas@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is. It's the "local" view.

The data doesn't need to be pulled through the "home" (logged-in) instance.

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

But then it is read-only, so you can't vote or comment.

[–] TheAmishMan@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It definitely is in other apps. In Thunder, i can add an instance and show local only, and it can even be instances I'm not logged into
