Right now, we are only able to view an instance’s specific community, but I’d love to be able to view what’s popular in that instance, especially that I do not know what communities that instance has.
EDIT And this is where it gets confusing…
If you want to view another instance from your home instance you need to do https://lemmy.world/c/thecommunityyouwanttoview@lemmy.ml
But there is no https://lemmy.world/c/lemmy.ml <– this will return a 4040
Ideally there would be a https://lemmy.world/c/all@lemmy.ml or a https://lemmy.world/c/popular@lemmy.ml
NOTE: this is for desktop, not sure about the various apps
you can go to lemmy.world main page > Posts > Local
that would show the top posts only from lemmy.world
if you want to see top posts from ALL of the lemmyverse, you can check:
lemmy.directory > Posts > All
