In the glory days of web 1.0, social websites would prominently link out to their digital neighbors via lists known as webrings; magical doorways to an expansive hinterland of digital villages.

Let's envision what a truly federated chat like #Matrix could do to improve the cross-connectivity of chat channels. Most of these features are already possible, they just haven't been implemented yet in a community-oriented client experience.

If this becomes a thing I think it would be better to keep them ad-hoc and non-standard. Part of the charm of webrings is how they sort of organically happened without strictly requiring any specialized technology.
