We need an /all or a /popular when viewing other communities (self.lemmy)

Right now, we are only able to view an instance's specific community, but I'd love to be able to view what's popular in that instance, especially that I do not know what communities that instance has.

EDIT And this is where it gets confusing...

If you want to view another instance from your home instance you need to do https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

But there is no https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy.ml <-- this will return a 4040

Ideally there would be a https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] or a https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

You can do that in the Jerboa app

edit: now that I understand the question, no you can't

I'm on iOS so I'm SoL. But this is also a problem on desktop unfortunately.

[–] elonspez 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But there is an all tab on the website?

[–] Kris 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup, but now try viewing all on lemmy.world or other lemmy instances from your home instance.

[–] elonspez 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah and I can see the posts from other instances in all? What else are you expecting?

[–] Kris 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

/all on each instance queries posts from other instances, I'm hoping to be able to engage with content that's popular specific to another instance from my home instance.

From my lemmy.world account, how can I tell what's popular on each of beehaw, lemmy.ml and etc and be able to interact with those posts without having to leave my home instance?

Oh I see. A filter by instance feature would indeed be nice.
