Hi all, after 15 years on the other site, I’m relatively new to Lemmy and still trying to figure things out

I want to have an account in one Lemmy (e.g, Lemmy.world) , but be able to browse a different Lemmy such as lemmy.ml, see it’s communities and subscribe to some of them

Is this possible in Voyager?

    Yeah discoverability is an issue I have as well. Also, feel it’s an issue on mastodon too.

    For now, I just browse All and see what communities pop up. Or, I do searches for topics I’m interested in. Lemmy is still fairly new so, niche communities don’t always have the biggest followings.

    Another Lemmy app actually have this feature, but not sure if it’s appropriate to mention other apps here.

      That's what I did. I made a couple trips there on my laptop and subscribed to shit tons of communities all at once, and of course they them show up on your phone. I don't know for the life of me why someone doownvoted you. It's the best, most efficient way to do it outside of using another app.

    Yes, it’s possible to search for communities from various instances as your asking. Just tap the search icon 🔍 at the bottom. Type what you’re interested, Technology for example, and then underneath the search field tap Communities with technology.

    This will display a list of communities with technology in the name from various instances.

      I believe this only searches your home instance for communities it’s aware of. It won’t search for communities your home instance isn’t connected to already

        That’s true. I misunderstood what was being asked.
