To add to this:
I would look into doing a redirect when the server is down. You could create a static page that is triggered when the server is unreachable.

Thanks for the hard work! Glad the server is back online.
A suggestion: Post a message on status.lemmy.zip when there is maintenance. That was where I thought to check when I found that the main site was not working. Though, it was reporting the site was fine when it was unavailable, this time.

Definitely on the to do list, shame it’s a paid cloudflare feature for 502 errors.

Thank you! Newborns are both miraculous and absolute poop machines.
The status page definitely failed this time around, going to look at alternative options. I’ll also start linking to other places.
