This is a really good idea. I think this is the way communities.win works. I suppose they have one main server, which serve their website (thedonald.win) then propose to others to host their communities to communities.win and all you have to bring is a domain name. Maybe they even use the saidit/reddit codebase. I don't know, this is pure supposition.

I would be awesome if SaidIt can bring something similar. I dream to get my own SaidIt-like forum, for which I already have some ideas : french-only, one user can own 1 sub only, 10 max posts (posts and comments) per day (use wikis, private messaging or really have something to say, concentrate the information you give), 5-10 big multisubs anchored on top of the front-page, sub must be part of a multisub, no friend option, etc,etc...

Ideally, one login could be used to log to both my website and SaidIt, and to other websites of the network, the way communities.win do it.

This would be not a decentralised network as ActivityPub state it, but it could be called a federation.

I just do not have the technical skills to set up my own saidit-like, so I'm dependent of other people here.

What do you think u/JasonCarswell u/magnora7 u/d3rr ?

saidit/reddit supports oauth, so saidit/reddit could certainly be used for account management for other domains/sites/apps.

The .win login approach only works because they control all of those sites. If someone else ran one, they could def steal user credentials. It's kinda hacky what they have from a security perspective. It is cool how effective they've been though.

And could you help me launch my own saidit-like ?

Sure man. I can't commit any serious time to it, but I'm certainly here to help and answer any questions.
