Yes, that’s it! Looks like the two existing instances are both in Mandarin only, and federation hasn’t been fully implemented yet.

I believe NeoDB is the only one in the works currently. But unfortunately I’m unable to find much about it in English, as it’s being developed in Mandarin first.

Doesn’t Peertube already do this?

The great thing about Lemmy though is that a community you interact with or even moderate doesn't need to be on your instance.
