EDIT (2023-07-31T22:18:52Z): I have realized that I was not clear in my original intent for this post – it could be interepereted to mean that I am asking whether or not you could access, for example, Lemmy through the Tor browser. This is not what I meant. What I was more alluding to was if it were possible to create a sort of “hidden fediverse” that was separate from the fediverse over the clearnet. There exitsts, already, Dark Web forums, like Dread, and I wonder if those would benefit more from being federated – Lemmy seems like a good candidate for this.

Title changes: Added “More specifically, could one make a sort of “Hidden Fediverse”?”

    Most instances won’t be routing onion addresses, it will only work between instances that have it set up.

      I wasn’t clear enough in my original post. I was referring to the idea of creating a sort of “hidden fediverse” which would be separate from the one over the clearnet.
