If they are similar, why not consolidate?
Better to not have to start over 100% if the main community is on a server that randomly disappears forever or turns sour and gets defederated.
There is no community backup for those ones, they seem to be doing fine:
Instance shutting down is indeed a valid risk, but it shouldn't be handled at the community level
!europe@feddit.org and !dach@feddit.org was formerly on the now closed feddit.de I think. It took me sometime to find them again…
Edit: I think a better solution is for us to custom group similar communities.
