 @3ec9d23e @33109f92 Or maybe that every community has their own instance. Than it would just be forums that are federated. I guess I'll keep on dreaming :)

 @e8a94444 @3ec9d23e There was a attempt to get Activitypub support into Discourse years ago but as far as I know they didn't see the purpose and declined to implement it byond a extension. That's from a fediverse forum thread I read years ago tho and it was outdated back then so maybe things changed by now, hope dies last!

 @33109f92 @3ec9d23e Oh that's too bad, I think Flarum is working on federation so I hope that ends up happening!

 @e8a94444 @3ec9d23e Cool, I know it's a little controvercial here on Fosstodon but I really like Discourse and I wish they implemented it too!

 @e8a94444 @33109f92 It's also a good idea. The truth is that I think the current format doesn't help much. I am more aware of the problem than what could be a solution.

 @3ec9d23e @e8a94444 Yea, that's the majore problem I have too. The whole thing is already split in topic based communities so further splitting is confusing but we also have to consider the social aspect. Different instances build very different groups of people and we also need some way to split those. I for example replaced the Lemmy.world technology community with the Beehaw one because I hate the neo liberal "technology will save us" garbage rather than the content in that community.
