Loop through custom taxonomy on front page?

I just completed the WP theming course and it was terrific! To go one step further, how can I get a custom taxonomy query on the front page and output posts / custom posts mapped to that taxonomy? Or is this solution in another course? Thanks!

Not sure if this helps. But i tend to use a simple foreach.

      $terms = get_terms( 'custom_taxonomy_name', array(
                          'hide_empty' => true,
                         )
                        );
      ?>

      <?php foreach( $terms as $term ) : ?>
      <a href="<?php echo $term->slug;?>"><?php echo $term->name;?></a>
      <?php endforeach; ?>```
