Backup Plans if Lemmy.ml domain gets reclaimed (lemmy.ml)

Hi all,

As you may or may not know, .ml domains may be getting seized by the Mali government. As such, we may need to launch the community on another instance. Here's a few options I've considered:

Lemmy.world - The "big" instance besides lemmy.ml. Although the Fediverse is supposed to be distributed.
Midwest.social - I don't think many people would consider Louisville "South" unlike other parts of Kentucky.
Launching mylem.alachian.app - I'll be running a server for another project here soon and I can throw this one up as well. Although, it'll be a trial by fire
Some other instance

What do you all think?

I'd lean towards the first two personally. Although I can understand that going with a large instance goes against the spirit of federated sites, there's plenty of work that goes into maintaining an instance, without even getting into the building & moderation of individual communities.

IMO, I think it'd be more beneficial to focus on problems around building a community, rather than solving the problems of maintaining a new instance on top of the former.
