Is there a search parameter to get a list of communities?
Lemmyverse?
Yes
Just go to lemmyverse, click the communities tab, and click the instances filter. Hide all except the one you want to see all communities from.
Wait, no. Not on lemmyverse.net in a regular web browser.
I mean from inside the voyager app. Like when I hit the explore button in the search tab and I can see a list of communities but the filter options are only all, local or subscribed.
I totally misunderstood and also missed the community subject. Don’t know anything about Voyager, sorry about that.
No problem, that’s what I’ve been doing but the app don’t always want to catch those links.
It was asked before and it is not easily possible because of how Lemmy works. Your home instance only federates to communities another user from your instance has searched before and subscribed. If that didn’t happen, the community is unknown to your instance and therefore can’t be shown. You can of course get a list of communities when accessing an instance via Lemmy UI through itself, so by accessing https://lemmy/ world for example. To integrate that view into Voyager, I guess you would need to implement some kind of “guest system”. AFAIK it is not implemented atm, but have a look on the repo, I bet there exists an issue addressing this already.
Try the search function?
First thing I tried. Searching lemmy.world and hitting the “search communities” option returns only those that have “lemmy.world” in their description independently of the instance. Searching @lemmy.world and hitting communities again returns no results.
Somewhere I read a two year old post that there was the option instance:lemmy.world to limit the search to that instance but doesn’t seem to work.
That’s weird, it returns a bunch of different instances for me:
Yes, that works as intended.
Sorry, sometimes I try to be so concise that I drop all the details. What I’m trying to do is browse the communities of a single instance. Like when you hit the explore button in the search tab and you can see a long list of communities from all instances, then there’s an option to see only those in your instance.
What I’m trying to find out is if there is something to type in the search bar that would return all the communities from one arbitrary instance.
that doesn’t exist afaik
