For the unaware, is a alternative to platforms such as Reddit and Tildes.
I've been using Lemmy as one of my main social platforms for the past 6 months...
i literally just want it to work like it does on matrix: a room (community in this instance) is an independent thing that exists on all servers with users participating in it, and then each server can also assign aliases to the rooms (communities) like how we assign domain names to IP addresses, of which the room (community) admins can set one to be the main alias which is generally displayed in UIs.
so a community called “bagels stacked on dogs” could have aliases like #bagelsondogs:lemmy.chat, #bageldogs:lemmy.chat, #bagelsondogs:discuss.dogchat.com, #bagelson:dogs.net, etc etc and the community admins would of course want to set #bagelson:dogs.net to be the main way to reference the community.
i’m pretty sure communities are federated right now, it’s just that they only have a single ID which can never change. I think the way acitivitypub works it’s basically just posting to different “topics” under the hood?

How would modding work on that? I’m not sure I fully understand.
it works exactly like it does now, afaik
So it’s essentially federated communities?
