Overcome Rate Limits: Cache successful requests, share caches between instances

[Kreavita]

Disclaimer: i haven't spent too much time looking around in the source/project yet, so if this idea was already dismissed, is currently worked on, or caching is already implemented, I'm sorry for the duplicate

I wonder if it would be feasible (or even possible) to transform the libreddit instances into a federated reddit cache, given there would be enough people willing to donate processing power and storage on their servers, or go even further and spin up a complete new platform / integrate the cached user data from reddit data into lemmy.

I believe that would greatly reduce the friction to jump the ship completely for most people who are sceptical of reddits leadership, however i guess there are legal barriers and a lot of work needed to pull it off.
