As the title says. I thought that was brilliant on Reddit, just checking people's profiles would lead to some cool discoveries of communities I would have never thought of by myself.

Is this a feature somewhere?

Edit: of course users have the option to not show these, no I don't want to violate anyone's privacy

Considering most people aren't going to comment or post on communities where they aren't subscribed, you could just look at their comment/post history.

Aren't they? I do it all the time. I regularly browse by All and come across communities (including this one!) that I don't necessarily want to subscribe to, even if there's one post which interests me.

They can be subscribed and not post or comment.

Showing that would be a privacy violation, IMO.

I don't know? Subscribed communities is not private information, it's linked to your account not to your actual name, you can use multiple accounts.

Even votes are not technically private on Lemmy
