That would be pretty cool. A federated system could actually support more specialized communities. like if there was a dc-specific instance
but I'm also chronically overconfident
If had the technical knowledge I'd make an instance for the east coast/mid atlantic region kinda like midwest.social
maybe... eastcoast.social? or something?
Oh wait nevermind, apparently theres an instance now! https://dmv.social/ looks promising
Have you managed to remotely subscribe to a dmv.social community yet? I've tried to subscribe to https://dmv.social/c/washington_dc a few times from both the website and the Jerboa app but it hasn't worked yet.
It likely will take some time to federate in instances unfortunately. Things are kinda overloaded all across the lemmyverse especially with the "pending subscription" stuff within inter-instance communities, but over time it will stabilize itself. Similar stuff happened when mastodon got migrants for a time as well.
Keep trying. In the communities tab, you can type [email protected] into the communities tab and attempt to get it to federate.
Edit: it seems to have federated!
