In the situation that a federated instance is unreachable for (by default) 7 days, it is added to the unreachable instances list (found by the psql query SELECT i0."host", i0."unreachable_since" FROM "instances" AS i0;). Once added to this list, akkoma never again checks to see if it has returned. This results in instances entering a graveyard even if they return from prelonged downtime. Ideally, once every month or two, akkoma should attempt to "ping" that instance again to discover if it is still down or if it has returned.

There could also be a way to view these "dead" instances in the admin view, and remove them from the list manually.
