I like keeping across what is happening with other Lemmy instances so lestat.org was born out of this curiosity.
URL: https://lestat.org
It’s similar to lemmy-status.org but with a few notable differences:
- Lestat is running Uptime Kuma
- Lestat monitors all instances listed on join-lemmy.org
- Lestat has a public Discord server where it automatically feeds notifications: https://discord.gg/R8zY7fM5Z8
Criteria for adding instances to Lestat
I will add any instance to Lestat based on these prerequisites:
- The instance is listed on join-lemmy.org
- The instance doesn’t host anything illegal in New Zealand
Free services for admins
If you are an instance admin, I can set you up with the following:
- Automatic e-mail notifications when the status of your instance changes (e.g. it goes up or down).
- An uptime badge for your instance in this style:
Send me a message if you’d like any of the above.
I hope you find Lestat useful!
Edit: Added clickable URL and expanded on free admin services to include badges.
That icon goes way too hard for an uptime tracker.
#iconic
Needs search by instance name, filter by status
Hey, what’s the url?
https://lestat.org/ the url was in the title btw
The title’s not clickable
And it’s really hard to type it out aye.
On a phone, yes it’s a bit annoying. Enough for me to read comments for a clockwork link
Just curious, but why did you call it Lestat?
It’s just a play on words: Le(mmy) + Stat(us) or Le Stat(us)
I think it’s short and easy to remember, the fact that it’s also the name of a famous vampire is just a bonus.
I think it’s a great name and domain
That’s ingenious and I’m slow for not catching on that, haha.
Here is another one for you - Luptime!
Yeah it’s bad, I know. :)
It’s very nice, and thanks for including all instances. We are supposed to be a network of Lemmy instances working together. This site highlights that idea so thank you.
If I could offer an improvement idea, it would be to first show instances that are down in it’s own group, and then every other instance exactly as it’s done now, in alphabetical order.
Thanks for your feedback. I like your idea, I’ll have a look into what I can do to make it happen.
Holy shit the name is perfect.
Can I beg to become a Lem-pire once I use the site? Instructions not clear.
It really is perfect, and how on earth was that domain not taken?
I do love Uptime Kuma - using it for my own instance services at status.leminal.space
Are you checking with a simple ping, https request?
Https HEAD requests - I find it yields accurate results for Lemmy and it’s extremely light on bandwidth.
I’ve updated the post to include clickable URLs. Lesson learnt that I shouldn’t rely on clients to treat domain names as links.
Excellent!
I pronounce it in a French way, like Le`stat.
Cool service! Is the code open source?
Absolutely!
Uptime Kuma Github: https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Note that I am not the creator of Uptime Kuma, https://github.com/louislam gets all the credit there.
Yes, the software it uses is mentioned in the post.
No lemmy.ml ?
Of all the ones to miss!
Thanks for pointing it out, I’ve added it now.
how tf is it missing the #2 lemmy instance but somehow has every other one? also, so search, so sort…not to mention, there’s no link to the site hereedit: these are fixed!
good start!
Hey thanks for your feedback. I’ve made them all URLs now.
Search and sort are tricky as it’s not something Uptime Kuma status pages can do, I’ll look into what can be done there.
cool, thanks!
I’d offer some suggestions re: adding search and sort, but I’m not familiar with the api (and I’m about to go to bed), but best of luck!
It’s there. It’s just buried in the middle of the page since instances are sorted alphabetically
Thank you for this!
Huh, this just made me realize that my instance isn’t listed on join-lemmy anymore, that’s odd (not popular enough I suppose). I guess that explains why I haven’t had any registration requests in a while…
I think you’re one “active user” short of being back on there:
I believe you need 5 to be listed.
Ah, I see - do you know if that was changed at some point? I know when I originally setup my instance it was listed there, and it was just me on it. Everyone else came from join-lemmy as far as I know…
Well, regardless I’ve been meaning to try to get some personal friends aboard anyways 😅
Yes it was changed some time ago: https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/170
Somehow I missed that, thanks for the link!
Awesome logo. It reminds me of Vinnie, biker mice from mars.
