Super cool, the worry of an instance dying will make people avoid smaller instances and pick the big stable ones. Having this safety net should help balance things out.
I wonder if this could work with threadiverse communities. We've seen communities disappear when an instance goes down. Could the communities also be saved like this?
I don't see why not. And in fact, they would benefit from the whole relay thing, allowing multiple accounts on different instances to be the "same" community
That could be an improvement over following 3 or 4 identically named communities on different instances
It wouldn't change that, unless the moderators of those communities agreed to merge them by using the same cryptographic identity.
