Why not load balance all content to all instances? So if an instance gets killed, the content remains. Or at least a backup strategy to rebuild an instance in the event of a take down
The ActivityPub protocol already does the "load balancing" part of your suggestion, it's the core feature of it in fact. But at the same time, the community itself is still only hosted on one server, so if it's removed there then all the previous content becomes "orphaned", but it still remains on all previously subscribed/participating servers.
