Is Mastodon down right now?

No, it’s up.

Mastodon appears to be up and running normally.

checked responded in 273msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, Mastodon has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~150 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-02 07:36 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

Mastodon is federated, so there is no single service to be down. This checks mastodon.social, the flagship instance, and an outage there says nothing about the thousands of other servers on the network.

Is Mastodon down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Mastodon normally right now, and it answered our last one in 273ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-21. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 19 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days Mastodon reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if Mastodon is down for just you

  • Force-close and reopen the app, then check for an available update.
  • Toggle Wi-Fi and mobile data — social apps fail over between them poorly.
  • Clear the app cache (or reinstall) if feeds won't load.
  • Check whether you're logged in on another device that may have signed you out.
