With the fediverse growing seeming to grow really fast these days, and covering the twitter & reddit spaces, I've been wondering what other social media can be covered by the fediverse.

Merging communities might be hard, but maybe redirecting a community to another instance? this would also allow people to move communities from one instance to another, which would allow large communities to have dedicated instances, or to consolidate related communities under the same instance.
Allowing communities to exist across multiple instances is going to be a nightmare now that I think about it, like how will moderation work? I can already see it becoming a new way to spam. Create your own lemmy instance, spam a post, and make it so that no one can delete it. It'll cause instances to disable open federation, which would mean we'll end up with only a few allowed instances
