Im pretty satisfied with Lemmy, but one thing i wish you could do is browse instances. Like i wish there was a way i could almost emulate being on my programming.dev account and see all that instances communities while im logged into this account. Afaik theres no easy way to do that without visiting some aggregator website. It would be nice to do within Lemmy itself.

That would be good - I often want to see what an unfamiliar instance is about by checking out their homepage sidebar and local communities and currently it's several clicks and involves going directly to the site, effectively logging me out. At least the new versions have the new feature that sends you back to your home instance to subscribe.

The only plus is that sometimes the remote instance has interesting styles or other customisations that I wouldn't see unless i visited properly.
