  Its just a off site platform where LW can tell whats wrong if the site goes offline.

  Hello,

  Thank you for your work!

  For that specific use case, would it be possible to set-up a Mastodon account posting heads-up about incidents?

    There are already monitoring sites that provide that info:

    lemmy-world.statuspage.io

    lemmy-status.org/endpoints/_lemmy-world

      I am well aware of those, but then what type of information is on Discord? Why cannot that just be added in comments to the incidents on the status pages?

        I don’t know what’s on Discord; I haven’t joined the lemmy.world server. All the important announcements are on lemmy.world. if it’s down, then it’s down, come back later.
