I’m thinking more unifying communities that either have the same mods or for annexing communities with inactive mods, and I keep referring to redundancy because that’s the specific purpose in my mind, with the side effect of cleaning up the multiple dead communities with the same name on various instances.

There’s a real risk in the Fediverse of the one server hosting a community going offline, and we’ve already seen at least one notable Lemmy host shamble on as a zombie server with absent instance administrators. Instead of forcing communities to tell eachother to migrate or to recreate themselves on a new instance should one disappear suddenly, by having the community effectively load balanced and replicated across 2 or more instances is a lot more resilient

I fully respect when moderator teams have different opinions running similar communities with different rules and expectations and in not saying that should be taken away. I’m just thinking about technical solutions to improve overall Fediverse health
