TIL.
I wish there was an easy way to list all the communities on an instance and then pick which ones you'd like to subscribe to

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

MODERATORS
- Go to https://lemmyverse.net
- Click the "communities" tab up top.
- Click the "Instances" filter button
- Click "Hide All" then search for the instance you want and enable that one.
- Click the house icon at the top of the page and enter your home instance
Now you see a list of all communities on that (or multiple) instances, and clicking on them takes you right to that community on your own instance. It's the best way I've found.
Oh sweet. Thanks!
I can't find this instance on WefWef am I doing something wrong.
I don't use wefwef.app, but I'm assuming the issue is to do with mander.xyz being an instance (like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works).
The point being that any communities from mander.xyz will still show up if you search for them on wefwef.app
For example, I searched wefwef for the communities labeled mycology and it brought up the correct community from mander.xyz:
https://wefwef.app/search/lemmy.world/c/mycology@mander.xyz
Edit: in essence it search works for searching for a community, but not an instance as a whole; I couldn't just search wefwef.app for mander.xyz and see all of its communities listed, but I can search for a community from it and it will come up
Just to test a theory:
Wow, can I just add all the communities from mander.xyz and then filter out what I don't want? I like the content but I'm starting to try to consolidate my testing IDs into one instance. It's a feature that I have to purposely go add other communities on other instances and the only "defaults" I get are the ones on my local instance?
I wonder if there is a way to have a feed that is startrek.website + mander.xyz but exclude other non-sciencey discourse from ala .world or .ml. "All" right now does not options to filter those out...
You have to subscribe to the communities you want and then do "Subscribed" instead of "Local" or "All". I don't know of an easy way to mass subscribe though. The easier way is to click in "Communities" and search/subscribe those you want. You can search for communities in all instances there.
Thanks! Lemmy + scientists seems like a perfect fit.
Jerboa seems to be wonky atm, but when it does work, is there a way to add it to my communities? Though when I click that now, I can't see all the ones I've subbed to anymore
