What happens when an instance starts needing more resources than its original server? (lemmy.world)

Is there a way that users could cohost an instance? If there isn't, I think that would be a great feature to implement. Having a situation where instances slow down or even occasionally disconnect will be hard on any community. I feel like it could eventually cause people to prefer using instances owned by large and well funded groups instead of passionate users.

Yeah, us. But if we ever want to wrest any kind of market share from big tech, that won't be good enough anymore.
