Let's say we have lemmy instances A, B, C.

alice from A makes a post "Hello, world" to B. What happens? How is it processed on servers A, B, C and how do users from A, B, C receive her post?

Maybe.

But I'd counter that it's prohibitive to growth. People aren't used to turning up at a domain name only to find out 90% of the content can't be accessed without jumping through a bunch of hoops.
