Hey now you whippersnapper, just be happy it’s not CVS anymore.

go through the normal login process and login with empty credentials. It will prompt you to connect as guest.

Thanks for this tip - I never would have thought to try that if I hadn’t found this comment through a search. It’s a very unintuitive process, and it also seems buggy (I can’t do guest browsing on a server where I’m also logged into an account; instead of the guest option I get an error message demanding that I supply a username and password).

Have you considered making the guest browsing workflow more obvious at the join/login screen? Or perhaps better yet, providing a mechanism to see the list of default communities a server recommends? By that I mean whatever shows up in the communities list when browsing a server anonymously (such as viewing https://vger.app/posts/sh.itjust.works on the web).

But even that wouldn’t cover what I really want, which is to see a list of all communities on a server, so that if I notice one interesting federated community I can easily browse what other communities exist on the server that might also pique my interest. Maybe the thing I want is being able to put an empty “@server.tld” into the search box and be shown all communities registered there.
