Lemmy instances die twice (sh.itjust.works)

"They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time."

I just realized that Lemmy instances are similar. For example, feddit.ch shut down last month, but some posts live on as they were federated with other instances. The original instance won't be entirely gone until (unless?) every instance that it was ever federated with is also gone.

I hope that Lemmy server open source software allows extensions or plugins that enable those that run instances to have the option to automatically and continually back them up to the permaweb blockchain Arweave. What do you think about that?

Does Lemmy instance server software already allow for plugins or extensions to be utilized in a rather frictionless or efficient way?

Have you thought about finding a way to make that happen yourself?
