Questions
Is Mastodon down right now?
Mastodon’s official status page says: All Systems Operational. This page checks it again when you load it, at most every 5 minutes.
When was Mastodon last down?
Mastodon has reported no incidents in the last 90 days.
What should I do if Mastodon is down?
Wait a few minutes and reload, try the mobile app or another network, and avoid posting the same content repeatedly.
mastodon.social is down — does that mean all of Mastodon is?
No — the page tracked here (status.joinmastodon.org) covers the servers run by Mastodon gGmbH, mainly mastodon.social and mastodon.online. Independent instances run their own infrastructure and keep working.
My home timeline is empty but the site loads — what's broken?
Federation can lag while the web UI is fine. If your own instance is healthy, posts from mastodon.social users just arrive late — check your server's admin dashboard for federation queue backlogs.
How do I tell if Mastodon is down for everyone or only for me?
If the status above is operational but Mastodon still fails for you, the cause is probably on your side: try another network, clear the cache, or check your own connection. If it shows a degradation or an outage, others are affected too.
How can I get alerted when my own site goes down?
OpenUptime checks your site every minute and sends an alert to Slack, Telegram, email or a webhook the moment it stops responding. It is open source and free to start.
