I've been recently thinking about the future of lemmy-meter and where should we go next from where we stand today.

It quickly became obvious to me that I've got no clue where do we stand today. I've been too caught up with my life (and possibly too lazy and distracted) that I never ran a survey to gather any sort of feedback.

Since many of you have been using lemmy-meter for more than a month already, I'd like to redirect the following important questions to you:

Strengths

What do you think lemmy-meter does right?
What are its strength?
In other words, what makes you enjoy using lemmy-meter (if at all)?

Weaknesses

Where do you think lemmy-meter falls short?
What are the things that make unsatisfied or even disappointed?

Potentials

Do you see any areas to explore that we haven't touched yet?
Do you think lemmy-meter can expand to cover new realms?
What could be the ideas that would take lemmy-meter to next level?

Thank you, Your friendly neighbourhood observability enthusiast

You may have noticed that things have been quite quiet these past few weeks and there hasn't been any new developments.

The reason is that I have recently become a father (again) and my life, as I had expected, have become quite busy leaving literally no free time for me and my FOSS endeavours.

I anticipate that starting from Spring, things will slowly fall back to normal and I will find myself comfortable w/ life's new routines and schedules and will resume the work on lemmy-meter.

In the meantime, in case of urgencies, the best way to reach out to me is via my e-mail ([email protected])

Stay warm and keep safe,

Latency, aka Roundtrip Time (RTT) or Time To Load (TTL), is the time it takes for the instance to respond to an HTTP request.

Latency indicators have been added to the instance health breakdown dashboard, allowing you to view the latency of your favourite instance compared to itself:

• Past 3 hours compared to the past 7 days
• Past 24 hours compared to the past 30 days
• Past 24 hours compared to the past 90 days

As of a couple of days ago, uptime indicators have been added to the health breakdown page allowing you to glance at the availability of the instance during the past 7, 30 and 90 days.

As an instance admin, would you be interested in receiving alerts in case lemmy-meter detects your instance's health has deteriorated?

The alerts could be sent to any combination of

• a Matrix chat (private or channel)
• a Discord server
• an e-mail address

For example, you could receive an alert if the landing page hasn't been loading for the past 5 minutes.

The details of alerting levels and the conditions that'd trigger them will be ironed out later. At this stage I'd mostly would like to know if there's interest in this feature in the first place before getting to the implementation.

With most of the initial tasks done, I think 🌎 lemmy-meter.info is in a good place now.

I just tagged v1.0.0-beta on the repository and will be focused mainly on polishing things and fixing potential bugs in the coming days before the release of v1.0.0.

In the meantime, I'd love to know about your experience using lemmy-meter and any feedback/ideas you may have about the current version or any future versions.

Thanks in adavnce 🙏

💪 lemmy-meter aspires to be a one-stop webapp for Lemmy end-users (and hopefully admins), to check the status of their favourite instances.

💡 The main idea is to provide the health check information in a opt-in way that is easy consume at a first glance (simple gauges) while offering users and power users more details in case they are interested.

❌ lemmy-meter is NOT affiliated w/ the Lemmy project.

𝜷 Currently, lemmy-meter is in the beta stage while I'm working on proper documentation and mobile-friendly design.
