Is there a community for discussing which Lemmy instances are offline at the moment?

Edit: I've now created multiple such communities, see below.

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

Plus with that 24h federation bug right now it likely will be up again by the time the messages federate.

I don't think it's 24h. At least on feddit.de there are posts that haven't updated the comments in 3 days...

We could also choose one of the big instances as a home for such a community. I haven't seen the top 3 go down for extended periods.

Multiple Backup Communities?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

People might have multiple accounts on different instances

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Not that I'm aware of.

Have previously seen similar things posted into communities such as [email protected] and [email protected] but it would be nice to have a dedicated one IMO, probably a sister community for one of the lemmy status sites

This is legitimately a great idea. I recommend putting it on lemmy.ml to start with as they are the closest we've got to a flagship instance. Would say lemmy.world if they weren't down all the time

try to avoid lemmy.ml if possible

You should contextualise such claims.

lemmy.ml removes sometimes anti tankie posts

I've now created such communities (on several instances to provide redundancy):
