    I have sketched up some explanation around how I did this in my decentralized video experiment: https://github.com/jmdisher/Cacophony/wiki/Inter-Channel-Relationship ("followers" randomly select some subset of the author's data to replicate, with a bias toward the more recent, in order to distribute the load across the network, provide availability, and satisfy streaming needs with local-only data). What you are describing sounds similar in terms of the problem it would need to solve.

    Purely peer-to-peer applications. These are more ambitious systems but are either just sketches on napkins or are only used by the people prototyping them (like my own Cacophony where most of the content is related to the development of the system - at least I can dogfood it).

    My thinking around some of these "global data/user search" problems is that they are analogous to the early-internet where expecting the protocol to present a global view wasn't possible so search engines were built to infer structure from the meaning of page linking. Hence, I am mostly just stating these assumptions and proceeding, not directly worrying about them (the bigger problem is the mobile user problem). Going forward, my main concern is making sure that the on-IPFS data model and protocol-level data schemas allow for that meaningful connectivity, both for local user convenience and potential global search indexing. The question around respondingTo is an example of that kind of question.
