Instead of just searching the specific name of a sub what if I want to see every sub that’s contained within an instance such as lemmy.world for example no I’m not part of lemmy.world but as part of the instance I’m a part of I can see every sub under it in a neat list can you only do that if you’re part of the instance?
I will add to others’ comments, that although this is the default on the communities list, make sure the “Local” option is selected to see all communities on the specific instance or “All” to see all communities the instance federates with (in other words, all the communities it allows access to)

You would need to navigate to that instance on desktop
As others have said:

It is possible using lemmyverse.net, I added a comment below

An easier way is to use lemmyverse.net/communities
Set your home instance using the home icon on the right
Select only the target instance with the instance filter
Now you can see only the target instance communities, and clicking on them will open them on your home instance

Also, on most instances NSFW communities are listed only if you are logged in and enable such content on your profile.

Lemmy isn’t focused on everyone seeing everything but on keeping corporate interests and power tripping admins out. The idea is to encourage as many people as possible to run their own instance of Lemmy both to share the infrastructure costs and limit the power each instance holds. Keeping hosting costs down is why instances don’t pull from communities nobody is subscribed to.

That sounds like a really bad way to do this.

If not, someone could just set up a rogue instance, create fake communities on it, then start pushing a million pictures per minute to every Lemmy instance, exhausting their resources
