It's scary , cos lemy.ml doesn't want the whole website deleted because Disney and Nintendo find one of their files here ,,
Yeah I think hosting a piracy community on the largest instance run by the devs is counterintuitive. Makes much more sense to host it on one of the 200 other instances
This is not possible since it's federated correct?
This is why it's important that no one instance become the "main" instance for a federated service (see also: mastodon.social getting a lot of flack for officially becoming the default server). If that instance goes down then it suddenly takes a huge chunk of users and content with it. So long as lemmy.ml is one among dozens then all is good!
instance redundancy would be nice then
Why not load balance all content to all instances? So if an instance gets killed, the content remains. Or at least a backup strategy to rebuild an instance in the event of a take down
The ActivityPub protocol already does the "load balancing" part of your suggestion, it's the core feature of it in fact. But at the same time, the community itself is still only hosted on one server, so if it's removed there then all the previous content becomes "orphaned", but it still remains on all previously subscribed/participating servers.
