The idea is that on my hosted rsslounge (http://www.example.com/rss/) I can add 
the URL of my friend's hosted server (http://www.myfriend.com/rss). With some 
sort of authentication (or not) my instance would gather info from the other.

The most accomplished form of such a decentralisation I know is status.net 
(http://status.net/) which is a microblog plateform - opensource clone of 
twitter if you want (used by http://identi.ca). On twitter you can register to 
other twitter users. With statusnet, on your own hosted instance you can 
subscribe to another status.net user. Technically I think this relies on stuff 
like OStatus http://ostatus.org/ and/or PubSubHubHub : 
https://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/

This is a longterm feature request for a  decentralized internet. Trying to 
avoid central servers for our web services with for example the Debian 
FreedomBox : http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox

RSSLounge is references there as an alternative to google reader : 
http://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/LeavingTheCloud ... it would be nice to keep 
some social/community features when leaving the cloud!

Hope this will spark ideas and interest users and developpers.
