Is there a way to list all communities of instance B from instance A besides registering in said instance? (lemmy.world)

I noticed that some instances put a registration wall behind their communities. If you are registered in instance A, you can search for a specific community in instance B but cannot see the full list of communities there. Is there a workaround (besides asking someone from B to give a list of the instance)?

Currently no, there's no way, here's the issue discussing about this

You can use https://browse.feddit.de/ and instead of searching for a community, enter the instance (enter "lemmy.ml" for example) and then it should give you a list of all communities in that instance

I haven't noticed it. Can you provide an example?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, you got me. Yeah, they are mostly the nsfw communities. But what is a man without his urges and what is an instance which can't list its communities? It's just weird.

Make sure your account has 'show nsfw content' turned on to view nsfw communities your instance knows about in the search.

Yeah, that is already turned on. That is part of what made me confused.
