Is there some way to browse the communities on an instance in Arctic? I can't find it if it's there

So I just didn't see it. There are so many ways to get to the same place, I don't always go the way where I would see that Browse section.

Would it make sense to have a sort alphabetically for instances?

Yeah, the subscriptions feed has a lot of useful shortcuts, but it can be easy to neglect due to its placement.

I’d love to add alphabetical sorting, however I’m limited to the options provided by the API. The only way I could offer alphabetical sorting as of now, would be to load all communities from the instance and then sort them. This would be a lot of API requests and I don’t want to put that strain on servers.
