Can we make federation less dependent on domain names?

It looks like some issues may arise if/when an instance's domain name changes. Is there any way we can change federation so that we don't need to rely on such a central point of failure?

Isn't that basically a Piefed topic?

So if I understand you, Lemmy would benefit from a grouping above /c that’s not instance related? Like Usenet had the rec.cats group which spawned rec.cats.siamese? So maybe a /u universe? If I wanted to read about television I could go to u/television which could merge feeds of c/television@piefed.social and c/television@lemmy.world and any other c/television@_._? I could see possibilities of abuse but we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Maybe a /u could be an opt in thing with a manager of some kind to prevent unrelated /c’s from randomly joining.

You'll find more of what you like too

It's global trending. Which I find unfortunate, because it basically defeats a purpose of thematic servers. For example I'm on Polish server, full of people taking in Polish, but I see only global trends which are not at all in Polish 🫤

it doesn't look like it's federated.. let alone linked to mastodon?

@ntn888@lemmy.ml yep, it's a forum you can self host.

Or join activitypub.space (but that one is geared toward fediverse developers)

I searched for nodebb.. it is just forum hosting?
