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)

All that content was stuck in each individual instance, so if I from nord.pub wrote a comment there, a user on lemmy.world would not see it.

We actually discovered right after the outage that Piefed instances appear to be able to see posts from other instances made to an offline or backlogged community. In particular, while viewing from piefed.social, I was able to see a lemmy.world user's posts to !climate@slrpnk.net before slrpnk.net had caught up on the backlog from lemmy.world.

What you describe is certainly true of Lemmy instances, though.
