Is your proposal related to a problem?

It could be fun to be able to visit the local feeds of other Instances. It could help with community discovery, understanding the cultures around different instances, and help newer users understand how the instances connect but are disconnected.

A more wordy, but not technical explanation is in the link below,

Describe the solution you'd like.

A Select Instance Feed box, either within the Instance heirarchy selection box, or as a separate tool.

Since making the post linked above, i have found out and tried Sync's "Instances" search tool. This is pretty much what i was thinking about. I've still opened this as a feature request due tobthe lack of updates Sync has had, and its uncertain future.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

No worries if this isn't feasible, or of interest to anyone. The only other feature analogous i've found is that Sync tool mentioned above.

This should be doable by adding a parameter instance_id for /api/v4/post/list and PostQuery. Then use that to filter for communities with that instance_id.
