I am currently logged into my account on lemmy.world. I’d like to view the home page of literature.cafe (or any other instance), view all the communities there etc.

I could just tap on the instance name, or even add instances that I wasn’t signed in to on liftoff which no longer works.

Is there a way to do this on voyager?

    I like the idea of being able to add guest accounts for this same purpose. Having an option in the Accounts window I think would make the most sense.

        Ah! Thank you! Might be nice to have that as a tip on the login screen or even “leave blank for guest” for the alt text in the username field.

          np. I thought about it, but I struggled to find a solution that didn’t increase the complexity of the UI for users brand new to fediverse/lemmy. The #1 priority of the login/signup flow is straightforward UX, and I am willing to sacrifice usability of power users for that.

          One of my pet peeves with fediverse signup and login flows in general is information overload.
