Any way to browse visible content from a specific server? (lemmy.zip)

Is there a way to type in a server name and view any visible (to the user, on their instance) feeds or communities in isolation?

Let's say I'm curious to know what the top content available from lemmy.world is for a given day from my instance, lemmy.zip. Searching seems like the right solution, but unfortunately it doesn't present the data the way i expect (not only posts from that instance) and there doesn't seem to be a way to sort by either activity or recency of a given post.

It would be nice if the user could set up feeds akin to local that target any posts visible to the user from an instance of their choice. I'm hedging on the side that this behavior might already exist in some form, but if not feel free to edit the title to feature request.

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but under About Instance you can 'Browse as Guest'

This even works without login : just go to settings / instances, set your instance and back in the sidepane select "local"

I don't know how you browse, but I use Boost for Lemmy on Android. You can filter your account to show Local, All, Subscribed, etc. I used to use it for Reddit and got so used to it, that it was worth the 8 or 9 bucks or whatever it cost.
