Having an architecture that locks communities to an instance is a problem. They should be distributed across the network with no notion of a home instance.
Moderation is also just an event in the protocol, just like votes or comments. Your instance would simply have to aggregate all those events, just like the current “home instances” do for their communities.
It would be different. The end-user would have to moderate their feeds, they’d have to find the same community provided by platform hosts who align with the users moderation values, or be ok with hiding content themselves.
They still to be attached to an instance at the protocol level. Or you have instances which are barely network components rather than communities, but that’s not what ActivityPub is about
However, there’s nothing stopping a developer from extending the protocol to support it. You can essentially throw a message into the fediverse with more or less arbitrary payloads. Adding something like a feed/community identifier is not impossible.

That’s just mastodon tags
How would moderation work then?

Probably better than whatever batshit moderation happens right now on the tankie instances

Isn’t that the way Nostr works, and thus if full of alt-right trolls escaping moderation?

And that’s a problem.
