There is no community backup for those ones, they seem to be doing fine:
Instance shutting down is indeed a valid risk, but it shouldn't be handled at the community level
[email protected] and [email protected] was formerly on the now closed feddit.de I think. It took me sometime to find them again…
Edit: I think a better solution is for us to custom group similar communities.
I'm glad you've been lucky enough to not lose any of your favorite communities. The server (tchncs.de) my user is currently on is my 3rd Lemmy provider to date. The other two just evaporated and took the communities I modded for with them. Thankfully the one I cared about already had a dupe - which is still going strong.
Part of the point of a meta community system (that could serve to consolidate and solve your problem) is that then all communities would be divorced from their hosts. Then (as an example), if the UK government pulled an Apple with feddit.uk and feddit suddenly shuttered to avoid it, those communities would/could be grafted on to another server, intact.
I've lost [email protected] when the instance shut down. I still advocate for one community.
Should lemm.ee go down, I would recreate the community elsewhere and post on [email protected]
I've rebuilt [email protected] , now abandoned.
I've built [email protected]. I can do it a fourth time.
