What does server less communities even mean?

The cloud is just someone else's computer. So to have server less would mean inaccessible?

Cross-server communities would maybe be a better name. As in !196 would aggregate from all the communities named "196" on the fediverse.

It's just like subscribing to a subscription folder which contains all "politics" communities. That doesn't mean the folder cannot be changed by the client. The client could easily have the feature to exclude communities from the folder or ignore blocked communities.

There could even servers that provide filtered community groups/folders.

https://piefed.social/ already has those, they are called "Topics"

That's pretty cool! Would be nice to have those in other fediverse software!
