The free fediverses should support concentric federations of instances

cross-posted from: lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/7235896

Here’s how Kat Marchá describes caracoles:

"you essentially ask to join concentric federations of instances … with smaller caracoles able to vote to federate with entire other caracoles.

And @ophiocephalic’s “fedifams” are a similar idea:

Communities could align into fedifams based on whatever conditions of identity, philosophy or interest are relevant to them. Instances allied into fedifams could share resources and mutually support each other in many way"

The idea’s a natural match for community-focused, anti-surveillance capitalism free fediverses, fits in well with the Networked Communities model and helps address scalability of consent-based federation.

It’s an interesting idea, but too complicated to be put into practice IMO.

Interesting idea. Personally, I would like to see larger groups of admins and server members working together towards common goals and setting common standards - what we have right now is more like a confederacy, not a federation. There is no unifying, governing body made up of representatives from the servers.

We can’t even merge similar/identical communities across federated servers and now we have this idea?

The fact that we don’t merge them is one of the great benefits of the Fediverse, actually.

No its the greatest weakness of the Fediverse.

By grouping them you could be on multiple similar communities on a topic and ensure you’re not going to be spammed with the same article 10 times.

It would also help alleviate the issue of zero engagement on most niche/focused communities.

The benefit is needless redundancy.

MisterD ,

And small niche communities might not be so small once merged and would guarantee the survival of the communities.
