Time for use the ip instead of a name

This would create the same issue every time you wanted to switch servers / server hosters and would make self hosting with a dynamic ip impossible

I'm not sure that's true. Couldn't it just automatically broadcast your server's current correct IP to all servers it federates with each time it (the IP) changes (and if a server fails to find a federated server by the most recent IP in its records, have it query other federated servers for a more up to date IP.)
