Can I subscribe to another instance (not a community within an instance)? (beehaw.org)

So I stumbled on this instance https://lemmy.directory/ and wanted to sub to it so I can find more communities and posts, but I can't seem to find how to sub to the instance itself, not any of the communities within this instance. Is this possible? Or can I browse this instance's "all" from beehaw?

Thanks in advance!

It does looks like there's a couple edge cases missing with respect to browsing community lists. From the web UI, you can click on Communities > All, then search by community name, but I don't think you can browse on a per-instance basis. For me at least, if I go to Community search from Beehaw, click All, and type @lemmy.ml for example, I get zero results. On the web, you can just go to lemmy.ml (or wherever) directly and look at their list, but it's still a little tough to browse non-local communities on apps/Jerboa.
