Any way to see a list of communities on a given instance?

For example, I'm on Lemmy.world, I can view posts by Local but I haven't figured out how to view all communities on Local.

I see value in being able to do the same for any other instances I choose to search for too.

I'd appreciate any help in doing this if it's already possible or even an explanation to why it's a potentially dumb idea 😅

If you go to search and then explore. You can choose to see only local communities.

There’s no way to select a specific Lemmy instance and see its communities on Voyager afaik. That would be pretty cool though.
- Oh nice, thanks for the heads up on the Local communities. I'll definitely use that quite a lot.
  
  I'm glad I'm not the only one to think seeing other instances would be cool. I've been using the search a lot to find new communities I'd like to take part in and I think being able to search for an instance's communities could help a lot with the lesser known ones
  
  You would have to go to the specific instance in your browser and then you’ll be able to see all its local communities.
If you can get to the root instance, select "sidebar" then "communities."
- I'm not sure how to actually get to the root instance in Voyager. I can find a communities sidebar though
