I did not get what you mean exactly? What you are asking is what we have now with multiple instances. If you need more information on selfhosting lemmy you can checkout many posts in https://lemmy.ml/c/selfhost and https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted. If you are familiar with Ansible you can directly run this playbook https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible
I understand how multiple instances work and how I can subscribe to communities across the fediverse from any instance. I also read that it an instance goes offline, it'll sync up with the other instances when it comes back online.
That got me thinking, it this thing works like that, can't I run an instance on my laptop that'll sync up with the rest of the fediverse every time I open it up.
So if a group of people ran their own in their own laptops, would it work, granted, people end up coming online at the same time
Very interesting idea. I am not sure how robust syncing will be in this case. This would work with current lemmy versions, and the devs are thinking of disabling this behavior. check this PR https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3427 , which disables federation to an instance if it is offline for sometime.
