      A lot of the time it was technically ‘up’, but just non-functional/unusable.

      Most common for me was just not being able to do anything but look at the front page, couldn’t click on anything without errors.

        That is an excellent point - I so rarely went there but I thought I recalled that being my experience as well, and yet I wasn’t certain enough to say so. It really does mess with the stats if we are trying to use “server uptime” to compare between instances or Kbin vs. Mbin.

          well server uptime is usually, and in the case of fediverse observer, coupled to a successful response. If the server spits out a 500 internal server error, that does not count as being up
