Is there a way to show all communities from a specific instance within lemmy.world? (self.general)

Hey everyone, so I've started to familiarize myself with the lemmy and fediverse systems and I was wondering if it was possible to filter the community search to show all communities from a specific instance?

In essence I would like to subscribe to several communities located on the programmer.dev instance yet when searching for @programmer.dev you are presented with no results. Only when you search for a single community that you know is part of another instance will it show.

Best thing I've seen for this kind of search so far:

https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Click the filter instances button, deselect all, select just the instance you want to see communities from.

If you also set your home instance as lemmy.world in the upper right, then it will make the links for all the communities open within lemmy.world so you can subscribe to them from there.

what do you mean by setting home instance in upper right?

[–] Apeman42 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the upper right of that page, there's a little button that looks like a house. If you click on it, it should prompt you to select your home instance. After you do that, it should make the links to all the communities you see listed on that page open within lemmy.world like https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] for example

[–] Armetron 1 points 1 year ago

ahhhh, understood. I thought the house thing was someting related to the lemmy instances. I didn't realize you were talking about https://lemmyverse.net/communities

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I normally go to the instance in the browser and tap on communities.

[–] Armetron 1 points 1 year ago

yea, currently I have programming.dev open and searching there to then search on .world

Interesting though, when I did a search for "unity" it didn't show the community at all in the .world search and I had to instead manually type lemmy.world/c/[email protected] to get it to show

I just had the exact same question in my head.
