The domain https://fediverse.observer redirects to sedo now.

On October 11th these two commits where made to the repo:

this will be my final release, glad to have contributed since 2011 to some fediverse stats, https://fedidb.com/ is a great resource with more interest

this software is no longer developed

Sad to have lost such a great resource.

@Vicinus@piefed.zip - Didn't want to post this twice and figured you might miss it considering how deep this conversation is.

How votes are viewed is a user setting, letting anyone choose if they want combined, separate, or a percentage. Is this something you would also like settable as a global instance default choice?

Such a person should have access to a “connectivity health” monitoring tool yes, but I don’t see why it would need to be on a per-post basis. Not having hosted an instance myself, I would naively hope that such a tool already exists, even if it is not graphical?

We mostly use Grafna

Also I occasionally search for PyLova and I love reading this comment chain when I do, thanks for contributing so many ideas.

    Probably would have missed it. Appreciate the tag :)

    Honestly, as long as I can easily enable it, it doesn't matter to me if everyone has it by default (only viewed your instance without logging in). Might be worth a user poll, but I have no idea how wanted that feature is.

    FYI I altered my [FR] on Codeburg to reflect you'd already implementing the feature.

    Link doesn't work, but I think I know what it'll look like.

    Given both your responses, it seems I didn't conveyed the idea well to OpenStars. My understanding is that an instance sends to the appropriate "hosting instance" a post or comment. My thought is, if it doesn't already happen, have the "hosting instance" send an 'acknowledgement' back to the sending instance. Then, if the comment has been 'acknowledged', the sending instance would put an indicator on the comment (check mark or something) to show "yes, my user, your activity successfully arrived at it's destination."

    In my mind, this wouldn't be every instance checking every other instance's user's activity to make sure it federated properly. This would be an instance confirming things for only its own users.

    Hopefully that makes sense. I graphical up-time graph is probably nice to have too. I was going to say those are available on fediverse measurement sites, but with a quick look, it seems like that was a Fediverse-Observer (RIP) only feature.

    Happy to help and thanks for being so responsive, open-minded, and just all around great :)

    Edit: when making my comment to OpenStars, I checked a post I made to the !servo@programming.dev community yesterday, which did not federate (https://programming.dev/c/Servo is missing my post).

    I think the “acknowledgement” feature could also help elevate the issue entirely. I’m not sure how to ‘force’ a re-submission of my post, but if an instance didn’t get an ‘acknowledgement’ the instance could check that the ‘"hosting instance” is still receiving and then try resend the post/comment after a certain time interval.
