@bryan I think those communities might go down with that server. So it's important that others spin up other instances. This doesn't mean each community needs its own copy of every community, but some communities can exist on one server and if one goes down others can migrate. I'm looking into starting up an instance as well. Even if it's only me on there it's nice to know the only person who will take it down is myself 😅
