  • I imagine it like friend requests between communities: x@instance.a, all-about-x@instance.b and x-is-great@instance.c could send each other friend requests and merge into one federated meta-community about x. Then if one instance goes down the other two are still there to keep the meta-community alive, and if one goes rogue the others can just unfriend and keep going without it.

    The nice thing about manual federation is that the communities don’t have to have exactly the same name, and the mods can keep malicious or troll communities out. And ofc you could still have client-side control if you want to, e.g. add or remove a community just for you locally, or create your own local meta-community.




  • I’ve been using Nvidia+Wayland+Gnome with two different monitors for a while now, and never had any problems with this setup. The X11 setup before that had some issues years ago, but worked fine for the last few years before switching to Wayland.

    I also connect different external monitors to my Intel-based laptop fairly often, and it works 99.9% of the time.

    Multi-monitor is really just plug and play nowadays.
