Does Lemmy have a way to counteract a mod taking down a whole community? (lemmy.ml)

After seeing what happend on r/antiwork over at Reddit. Does Lemmy have a way to prevent somthing similar, like could another instance decide to preserve a deleted community and not have a single point of failure?

The same question can be asked if an instance suddenly closes down, can other instances keep the communities alive?

I think the only solution really is probably to self host. Or, for multiple instances to have duplicate instances and to cross post on all the communities. You already see this happening, especially with COVID communities across Lemmy and Lotide, but also with news and tech communities I think

what about an option to allow users to say... back up a community, and then fork it? A few fans back up a community each day. Mod power trips deletes the sub or prevents propor discussion, someone forks it. would be like if /r/workerreform could start automatically with the /antiwork posts.
