It'd be cool if you could specify a backup mirror community, so there could be an immediate failsafe.
That's an amazing idea from my perspective which would really help the fediverse in general. Your proposal would solve not only the issue of instances disappearing completely but also temporary outages. For example Feddit.de as one of the biggest German instances had several technical issues lately. And as instances are typically administered by volunteers during their freetime that's totally fine, accepted and expected. Such a failover concept would heavily reduce the pressure on their shoulders!
