About Mastodon

Mastodon is a free and open-source federated social networking project created by Eugen Rochko and maintained by Mastodon gGmbH, based in Germany. The project launched on 16 March 2016 and runs as free software. Its official website is https://joinmastodon.org/.
Mastodon is a free, open-source social network built on federation. Instead of one central company, thousands of independent servers talk to each other, and your account lives on one of them. When posting stalls or feeds go quiet, the cause is often local to a single server rather than the whole network, so checking your server's status page is usually the fastest first step.
Mastodon is a federated, self-hostable social networking service. You create an account on a server (instance), post short messages, follow people, and share media. Because the network is decentralized, no single operator runs everything; each server runs its own Mastodon software and exchanges messages with the others through the ActivityPub protocol. Common trouble spots follow that structure. A slow or overloaded server can delay timelines, uploads, and notifications even when the wider network is fine. Federation between two specific servers can also break independently, which makes some accounts look silent while others load normally. Login failures usually point at the server holding your account rather than the apps. On your side, check that your app or web session is pointed at the correct server address, and confirm your internet connection is stable. If one account seems unreachable, try viewing it from another server before assuming it is gone. Server announcements and status pages report most ongoing maintenance and incidents.

Questions

Is Mastodon down right now?

According to reports on this page, Mastodon looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Mastodon yet.

Why can I log in on the web but not in my app?

Make sure the app is signed in to the same server your account lives on. A typo in the server address or an expired app session will block login even when the website works fine.

Why does one account's posts never show up for me?

Federation between your server and theirs may be temporarily interrupted. Posts from other accounts loading normally is a good sign the issue is between the two servers, not with your account.
