Is there a way of browsing random communities?

It would be a good way of seeing what else is out there.

Yeah, but this only shows communities followed by at least one user of your instance.

Is that true? I didn’t realise this.

Yep. I host my own instance, and /all is essentially the same as /subscribed for me, plus a few posts that I've pulled manually by clicking links.

Yep that's how all these federated services work. Your instance can only show you stuff it already knows about, so someone needs to have been first to find and follow it.
