If I ever have enough money, I’m thinking of setting up my own small server and migrating Lemmy to I2P. A Lemmy instance with the same features, but running on a completely free and anonymous network. Everything will be allowed except for moderation regarding serious topics and spam. It’s a nice thought, even just imagining it.
So, will it be a separate social network or a part of the Fediverse that will be able to communicate with the others?
Outproxy (I2P → Clearnet)
and
Inproxy (Clearnet → I2P)
This can be done via these methods. Alternatively, a dual-stack instance might be a much more practical approach.
An instance operates both on the clearnet (lemmy.example.org) and on I2P (as an .i2p eepsite). This instance acts as a bridge: lemmy.i2p ←→ bridge instance ←→ clearnet fediverse Federation is established indirectly through this bridge.
I don’t see how it could federate unless the other lemmy instances are on I2P also. This seems more like an isolated/standalone idea for an instance
