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?

I realise this is a known issue and that lemmy.world isn't the only instance that does this. Also, I'm aware that there are other things affecting federation.

Maybe a plug-in for Lemmy server could be developed to automatically back up and / or restore instances from Arweave. Some protocol could be used to turn the instances into Json, which could then be uploaded as documents and parsed, or something like that. And then the Json could then be potentially restored. There might be many pages for a large instance, but they could perhaps be organized in a thoughtful and functional way.
