This is already here now in some ways. For example: tree people. It turns out that there are a lot of basic rules communities can follow that make planting and caring for trees in public spaces easier. People who want to plant trees can reach out and find what kind of trees are best for particular locations and constraints. It is usually also possible to get instructions and borrow equipment for digging holes and moving trees and soil.
You can't get regular pay or health insurance or a social safety net from the tree people, but together they plant, protect, and care for trees and spread the knowledge of how that is done and the wisdom of why it is done.
In my opinion the tree people are a good minimal example of how network states might start with small shared domains and goals and might make a big difference without even expanding.
