So in a way it’s similar to https://joinmastodon.org/verification ? A two sided reference between identity and profiles?

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
What is a Mastodon relay?
DID as a permanent, global ID you own, independent of any server
So there would have to be another server, hosting my identity? Would identities somehow be federated between identity instances?
Maybe you need to wait a bit for federation to kick in?
I don’t have links at hand, but from some other questions I know that federation is not “download everything the moment someone looks at another instance”. Basically follow something and wait until some new content appears on origin instance. If after that you don’t see the content federated, then it’s time to start asking around
I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts
Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)
Sorry, I’m not sure:
You don’t know about the mastodon unofficial bots reposting from X (without interaction of person postingon X) and Lemmy unofficial bots and sometimes whole instances following RSS feeds or those somehow don’t fit what you aim for?
How about a button? So instead of searching after every page load, the search would happen only when the user clicks “check on Lemmy” button in the search bar or in the extensions tray
FWIW, in my feeds that is on the same level as it was for some time now
Ah, you mean for fediverse to work as an LDAP?
My point is Let’s imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board. The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, “members only”. So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone. Which means you won’t be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board. Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work
How would you see it work? IMO such boards are mostly for personal/organisation use, not a social space
I don’t know what kind of reel do you reap but coming to fedi to advertise discord is rich
What is it?
From one of the projects
So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?
