How to see every sub under an instance?

Instead of just searching the specific name of a sub what if I want to see every sub that's contained within an instance such as lemmy.world for example no I'm not part of lemmy.world but as part of the instance I'm a part of I can see every sub under it in a neat list can you only do that if you're part of the instance?

Tesseract lets you browse the communities on remote instance. AFAIK, that's one of few Lemmy frontends that offer that feature. Wish some other frontends would steal that feature from me.

Since the requests it uses to fetch communities from the remote instances are unauthenticated, it won't show you any that are marked NSFW.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had noticed that it was omitting nsfw and meant to ask you at some point.

Yep, API limitation, so less a "won't fix" and more of a "can't fix right now".

Edit: for a better method, see this comment below

You would need to navigate to that instance on desktop

For example, as others have said:

You can't see it from your instance because not every community will be pulled. A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it
