In-reply-to » RFC Add support for discovering peering pods

From #yarn.social on IRC:

[14:51:55]  <prologic> Meanwhile if someone could take a look at this PR
[14:51:56]  <prologic> https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/pulls/582
[14:55:06]  <Ullarah> So what will this add? Peering pods, I assume you can discover users/feeds based on a given a yarnd instance?
[14:59:10]  <prologic> I'm confident you've addressed @fastidious's concerns too :D
[14:59:30]  <prologic> Yes effectively I'm trying to expand pods's and their ability to discover one another
[14:59:48]  <prologic> And keep some kind of in-memory information about peers
[15:00:04]  <prologic> The intention is to use this for a couple of things
[15:00:34]  <prologic> Gossiping missing twts between peering pods, where one pod might have a root twt for a conv whilst another may not (because it was edited or that pod simply does not follow that feed)
[15:01:01]  <prologic> Automatically whitelisting domains of peering pods (because media processing means pods themselves can be "trusted" to serve media inline)
[15:01:17]  <prologic> That's the two use-cases right now
