A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

But not all Fediverse does.

It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.

It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

@reiver@reiver ⊼ (Charles) it would be a useful check for all servers. /.well-known/hostmeta.json per RFC 6415 is probably a good candidate, but /.well-known/health or something similar could also work.
