Potential Fediverse Equivalent for Service Uptime Monitoring? (lemmy.world)

I was wondering if there exists a platform similar to Downdetector or Down For Everyone Or Just Me (downforeveryoneorjustme.com), but specifically designed for the Fediverse and utilizing ActivityPub?

These platforms allow users to check if a website is down or if it's a personal connectivity issue.

is a tool that aggregates reports of outages across various services (e.g., internet, social media, streaming platforms) to help users determine if an issue is widespread or isolated.

is a simple service that checks if a website is down for everyone or just the person trying to access it.

If such a platform does not exist for the Fediverse, should we consider creating one?

It would be INCREDIBLY useful for monitoring instance(platform uptime and diagnosing connectivity issues within our community.

Unfortunately, I personally lack the time, energy, and motivation to initiate this project, but I believe it could be a valuable resource for all of us.

If anyone is interested in developing such a service, I personally believe that it could enhance our overall Fediverse experience EXPONENTIALLY.

I think something along the lines of showing most instances in the same page could be cool.

Because the fediverse is not about a single instance.

If only lemmyverse.net drew from more than once instance. If only.

By changing the url manually to instances you know about?

Dude, just click it. They have a whole UI and everything.

There's hundreds of lemmy instances. Thousands of fediverse ones
