    My main complaint with Mastodon (the web version, at least) is that you can’t easily browse different stances from within your native one, like you can with lemmy.

    I’m using programming.dev as my lemmy home and can easily browse any other with the address https://programming.dev/c/<communityname>@<lemmy.instance> , ie, https://programming.dev/c/memes@lemmy.ml

    In Mastodon, I can’t easily filter to see only toots from instance X or Y, my only options are either <all local toots> or <all connected federated instances’ toots>

      I’m pretty sure some mastodon forks solve this and let you browse other instances local timelines

      Various iOS and Android apps let you follow the ‘local’ timeline for other instances. I use Ice Cubes for iOS, but I believe a lot of other apps have this feature.
