Is it possible to see a list of communities? More specifically like a list of what exists on an instance?
I use Sync as a Lemmy client if it is relevant.
Should be able to search through pretty much everything here, with key words as filters.
Wow that’s super neat, thank you!
Edit: not sure about sync
Communities on Lemmy World: https://lemmy.world/communities
Edit2:
Just got sync for Lemmy
As an anonymous user, you can see: Everything
Under this there are 3 sections: Post Sort, Communities, and Instances.
So just clicking communites should show you all of them while also being able to search for some.
You can also search through instances by clicking one, then clicking communities.
Ah okay so it isn’t quite as friendly and intuitive as I am used to. Greatly appreciated your time and effort getting Sync to see.❤️
You are welcome!
I’m not sure if you can do it on Sync, but in a browser, you can go to instance name/communities. For example
Ah okay, thanks!
For your instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/communities
Thanks for the info!

Oh I think I replied to the post and not @Jimmy. Not sure how to actually ping someone at the moment!
Accidentally replying to a post instead of replying to a comment is a Sync bug (I think it happens if you try to reply via a Notification). I don’t use it, but that app seems a bit unmaintained.
To ping a person, it’s like what you did, but you need to include the instance (e.g.
@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmy.world
- most apps should auto-complete it once you start typing)Ah okay. I had been pretty sure I replied to the right person, and it would have been through the notifications.
Any clients for Android you recommend? I think my only really wants is a nice UI and the ability to easily swap between accounts.
Voyager is probably the most popular. I like Thunder, personally (both are open-source but Thunder isn’t completely FOSS because of the language it’s written in).
On voyager just click search, then explore. Can then filter the list of communities
