I’m sure many new users are curious.

    Thanks! Are the systems standalone or can they be distributed or mirrored? Seems like a potental single point of failure if the instance is literally running on someone’s personal server.

      That is unfortunately beyond my knowledge. I’ve never read up on settimg up an instance so I’m not sure. From the user side, I don’t think most people mirror their instances, since most are volunteers renting space somewhere or running a small home instance for themselves or a small group.

      I have seen the owner of an instance announce that they were shutting down in three months and to find a new home on a couple of occasions. Not quite the same, but a similar impermanence.
