What would an r/place-like Fediverse event look like? (lemmy.world)

I know this has crossed the minds of more than a few people here over the past several days.

What would that event look like? A new platform that implements ActivityPub and attempts to federate somehow? A completely separate site (à la pxls.space) related only in spirit? Something in between?

Further, how do you think it would play out, given the difference in our userbase and Reddit's?

I'm very curious how instances can have some unique features and personality.

I think something like r/place would start as something not federated, only for local users. What would it mean to federated it? If there was demand then federation would be added and instances could opt-in to the app.

I hope instances come up with these little widgets to make their place more unique. Right now every lemmy instance feels like all the others.
