    No. The “single source of truth” is the instance hosting the community. If it goes down the community itself goes down with the ship. The only way to prevent it is to have a IT infrastructure that can provide redundancy

        having a redundant system is feasible (I’m just a dev, not an architect so don’t take my words for granted) but it have to be designed and putted together … and prices are gonna skyrocket

          Lemmy / the fediverse isn’t designed this way, but it could be. There are certainly systems that share diskspace and are multimaster and keep stuff as long as someone is interested in it(i.e. accessing the data). I really start to think added to the lemmy / fediverse servers should be something like what freenet used to do in terms of hosting content.
