Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I generally like to lurk and browse without logging in. As far as I can tell, Voyager doesn’t have a feature that allows an anonymous user to compile and quickly access a saved list of communities. Currently, you have to either scroll through the list of communities in the Posts tab, or search for it in the Search tab.

Describe the solution you'd like If possible, it would be nice to have a “Bookmarks” feature: essentially just a list of communities a user has saved to quickly jump to. It wouldn’t necessarily have to aggregate the content, like Subscribe/Favorite, but simply act as a quick navigational feature.

Describe alternatives you've considered Ultimately, this may be superficially similar to or the same as #934, but I’m not sure.

Additional context Thank you for this great app and all of the effort you’ve put into making Lemmy easily accessible!

Hi,

It is possible to allow guests to have favorites, but it introduces issues such as, what do you do when you log in? Will the list dissappear? Will it be merged with your logged in list? So there's some thought that needs to be put into the edge cases.
