If Lemmy was a physical place, what would it look like?

What about the rest of the Fediverse or other parts of the internet?

Some random building used for parties that one person pays for regularly so everyone else can stand in social circles and talk about random topics because they have nothing better to do.

More like a building where several strangers each pay for a flat, and people are free to come and go to different flats as they please.

I also think there would be a couple of distinct groups sticking to their own flats, and none of the others in the building wanting to visit them. These flats are known as "Defederated". Now and then a newcomer will stumble through the door, have a look around, and decide to never open that particular door again.

Note that I'm not mentioning any particular instances, so if you feel offended by this, that's probably on you.

I was also thinking flats/apartments where people go to hang out as a good metaphor. Not necessarily fancy ones either, the kind of cheaper, basic ones most people start with early in their adult life.

Apartments as fancy as its denizens are willing to make it, really.

Also a few of the flats have donation boxes, and hopefully over time that'll be enough to keep the party going :)
