Is Mastodon down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached Mastodon successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 306 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 297 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 272 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 285 ms |
Based on 364 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About Mastodon
Mastodon is a decentralized social networking platform consisting of interconnected servers, with mastodon.social serving as its most prominent instance. Users engage in microblogging and media sharing across a federated network of independent communities. Issues usually arise from high server load on specific instances, federation delays between nodes, or media upload failures. Rimetry monitors the health of major Mastodon instances and the central project website to help users distinguish between a local server issue and a wider network disruption.
Problems with Mastodon can affect website, login & authentication, feed & timeline independently.
Mastodon (joinmastodon.org) is a social service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now Mastodon is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 16 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to joinmastodon.org are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like Mastodon include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.
