You need to decouple the location of the url from the location of the resource. Like having a /resource/ branch with logic that decide which server have the resource and redirects or proxy or whatever to that content. And all locations have the same logic.
So, wherever you start on, you will access the content of the whole federation.
- nickorlow 3y agoI've thought about trying to do something like this as a side project. For lemmy in specific, I think having a "lemmy directory" that redirects urls to their correct server would be nice. (I.e lemmydir.com/c/homelab would 301 to lemmy.ml/c/homelab. People would register their redirects on a FCFS basis and some amount of activity on the community would be required to register the redirect)
