What about the server portion? that's the thing I would like to have forked / open source.

But is there federation between instances of this and the official signal servers?

		No. But iirc Molly can connect to a federated version. You just have to pick. It's one or the other

		Well, obviously not. Official Signal does not support federation.

		There will likely never be federation between Signal's official servers and any other servers. Signal introduces privacy features semiregularly; we all saw with Matrix how difficult that is in a highly-federated environment.
