It would be nice to see a way of unifying communities on multiple instances for redundancy and improving the situation with redundant communities across instances.

It's really on the mods to accept to consolidate in one community.

All the issues you mention in your other paragraph are why this is probably never going to happen.

I'm mostly talking out a technical solution for community redundancy, similar to setting up redundant VM hosts or more accurately like redundant network hardware, where the data and configurations all exist on both servers, and might be load balanced to some degree between both servers, but ultimately should one go down there's no loss of uptime as the other server takes over until the time that it's mate comes back online or a new one is setup and connected

But that's infrastructure redundancy, it should rather happen there than at the Lemmy level, no?
