slrpnk.net instance mirrors for more resilience? (slrpnk.net)

~~Was anyone else unable to connect to slrpnk in the last week or so? Was the server down or was it something on my end?~~

Just saw the other post about the server outage so feel the below is relevant:

Is there a way to make slrpnk more resilient by having community members host mirrors of the instance? I also feel this is in line with the ethos of solarpunk where we'd rather have many decentralised instances that can support each other and provide mutual resilience, rather than a single critical instance.

What are people's thoughts?

(I might be able to volunteer my home server for this if I can cover the requirements)

When we first set up this instance, I thought about ways to do so, but it isn't easy.

I still plan to add more resilience to the media hosting by sharing it as a Garage S3 service across multiple locations eventually, but for Lemmy or Piefed itself it would require quite a bit more effort than I am currently able to invest into this (and I am also not very knowledgeable about clustering a PostgreSQL database across multiple physical locations).
