I could be interested in working on writing a mirroring tool if that is something people would like. I'm a developer looking to work on a project related to lemmy so if anyone wants help or needs contributors to already established projects please ping me :)

Seems like it would be a fun project to work on, for sure. I'm a complete Rust noob, though (mostly do C#/.NET at work). I wonder how the idea of federation works with instance mirroring. Would it be a backup system, where perhaps one backup instance shadows multiple live instances? Or maybe some way for a live instance to be distributed across multiple servers (and owners)?

I'm a Rust noob too, my work is in Java. However, I don't think a mirroring tool would need to be implemented in rust necessarily
