Oh, I did not get that. That's an interesting idea. Would still need to solve the 'where' do I post (which for many seems to also mean 'to what Instance do I belong'), and then how do one moderate content from various communities, from posters that may or may not adhere to one's own rules. It won't be obvious but I would be more than willing to see something like being experimented, even if it's to decide it's too complex, it seems worth at least an attempt, imho.

Proposal 3 makes that a non-issue. If pancakes@a.com and pancakes@b.com follow each other, a user can post to either community and their post will show up on both communities, with a shared comments section.

I don't foresee significant moderation challenges, but if any unresolvable issues did come up, communities could simply unfollow each other and go back to being separate communities.
