Is there a way to exclusively browse another federated server's content?
I just checked out sh.itjust.works, and I'm interested in some of the topics on their homepage, but in order to comment, I need to go to lemmy.world, search the specific community on sh.itjust.works, find the topic, and then comment.
It'd be neat if we could just rote filter by a certain server. Is that possible?
That's just our announcement & general chat community. That doesn't show you any of our other communities.
Just go to https://sh.itjust.works and look at local, don't worry about the fact you're not logged in, you can still look. You see any communities you like, jump back to the tab with your home instance and subscribe.
Once you're subscribed, then you can do anything you want (post/comment/vote) from your home instance. If you need more details on how to do that, happy to help.
Thanks! I understand that part but I’m wanting to browse all the communities on that instance from my instance so I can pick and choose which to subscribe to.
In other words: Is there a default /c/all or will that just vary depending on if they have a base community setup?
One of the things I have noticed is that viewing/posting from my home instance on a different instance works fine but the current posts doesn't really update in real time. Even if I was to refresh the page. But if I go to the same topic but on the instance directly versus from my instance, the posts are up to date. I assume this is the downside of how frederation works?
