Connect users via BuddyPress on multiple WordPress installations?

Hi,

I’m looking for a solution for a special problem. Is it possible to build a community of BuddyPress users over multiple WordPress installations on different servers? Can BuddyPress users on WordPress A on server Y connect with BuddyPress users on WordPress B on server Y? If this is not possible, is this a planned feature?

Thanks in advance

Not sure what you mean by ‘connect’.
Even if you could connect members from different installs, managing their interactions across multiple databases would be difficult.

afaik, devs use multisite so that everyone uses the same db.
There are some threads about various multisite + BP approaches, here’s one:

By connect I mean become friends, interact, read posts, comment etc. Multisite is not what I’m looking for as Multisite installations are all managed by the same admin. I’m thinking about a kind of Diaspora or GnuSocial based on BuddyPress, a distributed social network.
