MODERATORS
It'd definitely be neat if there was a way to group those similar communities into single, shared communities between federated instances. Like, if 6 different instances have "Gaming" communities, to have them all effectively grouped into a single one, and also include the "Gaming" communities from any other instances that you federate with in the future.
I think the ideal UX would be to be able to see one "Gaming" community, subscribe to it, and check a box for "Include Similar Federated Communities" or something, and have posts from all of them show up in your feed, without having to individually subscribe to them.
I see an important hurdle to that: moderation rules are still specific to instances. So "multis" create some side effect UI challenges. In fact I think the current UI lacks reminders about which community you are participating in.
But I really like and support your "Include Similar Federated Communities" suggestion.
That's a great point about moderation rules; I hadn't considered that... I suppose that does make it difficult.
