Why do these communities need long-term persistence? You could use a separate archive based on plain web server mirrors for anything worth preserving. Maybe it’s good that communities disappear and coalesce elsewhere, maybe it’s evolution. Maybe being forced to pick and choose what to archive and what to let go is a good thing.
AP is a very chatty protocol and to handle large world-scale groups requires additions like compressed digest distribution, mirrors and sharding. Threads are already fragmented by design so in the end it may be unworkable to follow large group threads.
