Is there a search parameter to get a list of communities?

    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.

        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.
