I think that's a question for the entirety of the ActivityPub fediverse, honestly, haha. The safest bet is probably running your own instance but that doesn't solve the problem of other communities disappearing when their main instance goes down.
I've been looking at standing up an instance of peertube and I'm considering the same issues there.
I'm working on a mobile client that falls back to secondary servers and accounts if one is down, though I haven't yet made it public since it's still unfinished
Sweet. I don't mind falling back to other instances but I want people keep the subs I have saved. I could make my own instance but I'm not sure if I want to do that. Like maybe I could easily export or import the communities. For right now it's not a problem cuz I'm not subbed to a lot but if I have 20.i don't want to try to add them one by one to other instances
My (limited) understanding is there's something called "nomadic identity" but that ActivityPub doesn't utilize it, and instead it's recommended that you self-host a Lemmy instance.
Take this with a grain of salt since I'm new to this and had the same question, so I'm only a few Google searches ahead of you and my information may not be accurate.
