Hosting a Lemmy server?

I'm interested in the possibilities for hosting dynamic content. I was thinking a Lemmy instance might be fun.

If there was;

• A minimum 2Ghz, 8Gig RAM for participating servers.
• A minimum solar system spec of
  LiFePO4wered/Pi+ solar charger / HAT
  50 Ah LiFePO4 Battery (1 cell)
  50W Solar panel
• A minimum bandwith spec of some number

And you could get 10x of these systems in Southern Europe/ Africa/ North America and 10x of these systems in Oceania.

Could you do a thing whereby there was one server at any one time that had login enabled, where users could post content. The remaining ~9 servers were acting as a budget CDN just serving static content to non logged in users.

When they plan to do a change from the 'active' server posting is disabled for the duration of a Rsync run. Once the Rsync is completed the new 'active' server enables user login.

I dunno if Lemmy supports Webauthn but that would be nice
