Is there a way to see what communities are on other instances?
Is there a way to see what communities are on other instances?
Is there a search parameter to get a list of communities?

It was asked before and it is not easily possible because of how Lemmy works. Your home instance only federates to communities another user from your instance has searched before and subscribed. If that didn't happen, the community is unknown to your instance and therefore can't be shown. You can of course get a list of communities when accessing an instance via Lemmy UI through itself, so by accessing https://lemmy/ world for example. To integrate that view into Voyager, I guess you would need to implement some kind of "guest system". AFAIK it is not implemented atm, but have a look on the repo, I bet there exists an issue addressing this already.

Try the search function?

First thing I tried. Searching lemmy.world and hitting the "search communities" option returns only those that have "lemmy.world" in their description independently of the instance. Searching @lemmy.world and hitting communities again returns no results.
Somewhere I read a two year old post that there was the option instance:lemmy.world to limit the search to that instance but doesn't seem to work.

Lemmyverse?
Yes
Just go to lemmyverse, click the communities tab, and click the instances filter. Hide all except the one you want to see all communities from.
