What is the practical difference between that and what we have here? Genuinely curious.

I don’t know, can’t really describe it, but 4chan just has a different vibe. I love Lemmy, but it’s closer to Reddit than to 4chan.

I tried so many different search queries and couldn’t find anything regarding a Fediverse image board

It’s not really that fundamentally different from the idea of Lemmy, the interface is just different but the idea of having communities and posts in the communities is the same.
The thing that would be tricky and would probably have the most friction would be anonymous posting since that’s where things get really ugly regarding moderation and user conduct, since a good amount are just going to be spammers and many others will be trolls and malicious users.

True, anonymous posting is very difficult to implement safely and would probably place a huge burden on volunteer Lemmy moderators.

Yeah that would be very difficult to implement safely, and probably wouldn’t be worth the effort since the Federated model means that signing up for an account somewhere on the Fediverse is much easier already.
Anonymous posting might have been a necessary evil on the early internet before you had all these Federated servers, but nowadays having other servers fills the role of granting easier access since you can sign up to another one where that process may be easier.

The only way of anonymously posting I could imagine on a federated image board would be to use an account on some other Fediverse platform (e.g. Mastodon, Firefish, Mbin, etc.) and to have the name of the account hidden for anonymous posts. That could maybe work, idk. Would be pretty cool tho
