The ability to merge/join communities across instances. Right now, there's lots of duplicated communities - which isn't a big problem, but I feel that it'll hinder adoption as it fragments the audience for a given topic.
Edit: also worth saying that it seems like that the if the instance hosting a community goes away, so does the community.
The people would have to communicate and agree on terms, which is a positive in its own way I think. But as you know, some people don't wanna give up power.
Over time people will find which fragment they like the best and each will developed its own culture. Some will combine I'm sure.
