I'm am looking to upgrading versions soon. Unfortunately there were massive changes in the reverse proxy setup, which means I need to change a lot of things in my reverse proxy setup. I am hoping I don't cause too much of a downtime, but if I know, you now know why
Honestly, given that probably all fediverse instances are in the same boat, I wonder if it'd make sense to have some kind of centralized mechanism for registering a server and indicating whether there's planned maintenance or that the thing has permanently gone down, or whatever.
Also, even other instances and clients might want that information available to them, so that they can help inform the user as to instance status in their UIs.
Yeah that would absolutely make sense, but centralizing it for all the Lemmy's will be impossible
The fediseer could do something like that, where admins could mark their servers as maintenance, or "under raid" etc
