Was anyone else unable to connect to slrpnk in the last week or so? Was the server down or was it something on my end?
Just saw the other post about the server outage so feel the below is relevant:
Is there a way to make slrpnk more resilient by having community members host mirrors of the instance? I also feel this is in line with the ethos of solarpunk where we’d rather have many decentralised instances that can support each other and provide mutual resilience, rather than a single critical instance.
What are people’s thoughts?
(I might be able to volunteer my home server for this if I can cover the requirements)
I add “resilience” by using an alternate lemmy or piefed login (i have one of each for precisely this reason)
Seems like a lot of ballache for the Admin in doing what you suggest ?
yeah I mean I do have an account on another instance but all the communities on this instance are still unavailable while the server is down - but yeah it would be more of a hassle (as any multi-region replication is)
