Instead of just searching the specific name of a sub what if I want to see every sub that’s contained within an instance such as lemmy.world for example no I’m not part of lemmy.world but as part of the instance I’m a part of I can see every sub under it in a neat list can you only do that if you’re part of the instance?

    A community only starts federating to your instance after someone on your instance subscribes to it

    That sounds like a really bad way to do this.

      If not, someone could just set up a rogue instance, create fake communities on it, then start pushing a million pictures per minute to every Lemmy instance, exhausting their resources
