It makes me think that maybe “communities” wasn’t the way to organize, maybe you subscribe to a topic and see all posts for that topic on all instances.
But moderation is good, and defederation is too severe a tool to use for moderation. It feels like there is no good solution.
Ive always thought it would be good to elect mods from the community. Instead of having a mod that is in charge of EVERYTHING in a community, it should have periodic elections (or just a vote of no confidence by a certain % of users, then an election). The ones that vote have to joined the community for X number of days/months/etc… That way it prevents a bit of the brigading. Also if communities are basically dead, it can help revive them.
It might be some sort of vetting to know all your users are real people.
I’ve considered setting up a Lemmy/Piefed for my neighborhood, but I’ve been told I’m unlikely to get the neighborhood off of our very active Facebook.

Ive always liked subscribing to hashtags so you get user led topics. EX: https://piefed.social/tag/peertube

Just an idea.
Piefed has topics I think (I’m mostly on mobile so not something I use but I remember it being there when I set up my account)
Yep and it works well: Example: https://piefed.social/f/fediverse
or ~fediverse@piefed.social (this resolves if you are on a piefed instance)
