I would add that a true Federated Discord clone should have a "Community Discovery" map where accounts could jump in and access other chatrooms. And 'instances' could choose what other instances to federate with. Just like how it works on the Fediverse now.

Otherwise its just entirely disconnected independently run chatrooms.

Yes that's what I don't like about Stoat. No one is going to create logins for 7 different Stoat servers, they need to have a single place to access, and then join others from that one. Average users don't want to know about servers or DNS names or anything, they want to click a button and start talking

Well currently Stoat isn't federated, I was just noting that a hypothetical federated Discord should allow a single account to interact with servers not on the original accounts server - just like the fediverse
