I’m working on lemmy-meter which is a simple observability solution for Lemmy end-users like me, to be able to check the health of a few endpoints of their favourite instance in a visually pleasing way.

👉 You can check out a screenshot of the pre-release landing page.


💡 Currently, lemmy-meter sends 33 HTTP GET requests per minute to a given instance.

For a few reasons, I don’t wish lemmy-meter to cause any unwanted extra load on Lemmy instances.
As such I’d like it be an opt-in solution, ie a given instance’s admin(s) should decide whether they want their instance to be included in lemmy-meter’s reports.

❓ Now, assuming I’ve got a list of instances to begin w/, what’s the best way to reach out to the admins wrt lemmy-meter?


PS: The idea occurred to me after a discussion RE momentary outages.

    sane defaults and a timeout period

    I agree. This makes more sense.

    Your name will be associated with abuse forevermore.

    I was going to ignore your reply as a 🧌 given it’s an opt-in service for HTTP monitoring. But then you had a good point on the next line!

    Let’s use such important labels where they actually make sense 🙂
