What happens when an instance starts needing more resources than its original server? (lemmy.world)

Is there a way that users could cohost an instance? If there isn't, I think that would be a great feature to implement. Having a situation where instances slow down or even occasionally disconnect will be hard on any community. I feel like it could eventually cause people to prefer using instances owned by large and well funded groups instead of passionate users.

Amazon is definitely not the only one doing cloud infrastructure. I really don't think we'd be pissing anyone off.
