Indeed, but I was more talking about a Lemmy community where people would be able to discuss and give each other information.
I actually stumbled upon someone asking a question on Reddit, it could have been interesting to have a place to redirect this person to: https://old.reddit.com/r/Lemmy/comments/1dtj4hc/can_anyone_help/
The alternative is a Matrix room, but it might take some time to set up compared to just a community on another instance
Hello,
Good luck with the troubleshooting!
As I suggested elsewhere, could you maybe setup a "status" community on another instance (e.g. sh.itjust.works, it's Canadian as well), so that people can go there to see updates about the potential outages?
Thank you for your work!
Maybe there should be a backup instance on another community to keep people updated in this kind of scenario?
We have !jlailu_statut@sh.itjust.works for Jlai.lu. Obviously, you would recommend people to sub to that using an alt 😄
Thank you so much!
I’m not sure why but I would love to be enlightened by a more knowledgeable lemmy :)
Beehaw.org defederated lemmy.world which hosts most of the Lemmy communities. For lemmy.ml I'm not sure.
On https://jlai.lu/ the local feed is useful because the whole instance is French speaking.
Lemmy.ca has both local and generalist communities so it's probably less useful here.
Sounds great, thanks!
