I'd like to see a live replication kind of thing. So if you're on !games@lemmy.ml it can merge with !games@behaw.meh and they super federate and advertise that this group exists, replicated, on four or five lemmy servers and the client tracks that every X hours and knows what the failovers are.
Solves some of the fragmentation issues and the backup/archive issues at the same time. Might even help with load balancing a bit if we have some kind of routing algo on the endpoints.
That sounds really smart. Let communities decide which instances they federate with. The mod team owns the community, not the instance admins.
