Returns one page of Substack's Explore surface. Explore is a feed of heterogeneous modules rather than a flat list, so each page returns the modules it contains and every module names its own type. Known module types are `trendingTopicsExplore` (trending topics and suggested searches), `trendingPostsExplore`, `newBestsellersExplore`, `videoSuggestionsExplore`, `categoryLeaderboard`, `comment` (a single Note) and `post` (a single post). Only the collections a module actually carries are populated. Pagination is cursor-based; early pages are curated shelves and later pages are individual Notes and posts.
