What to check first for Mastodon
For Mastodon, start by separating mastodon.social public reachability, home feed refresh, and account session. A reachable mastodon.social does not prove every Mastodon workflow is healthy.
- Confirm mastodon.social reachability and compare it with Official Mastodon Website.
- Test home feed refresh and account session before changing account, device, or DNS settings.
- If you see mastodon: feed works differently from posting, keep the timestamp, final URL, and failing action for support or incident review.
Official Mastodon sources
Use these provider-controlled or provider-owned sources after the live check, especially when the verdict is mixed or the issue only affects one workflow.
Official Mastodon Website
Open the main Mastodon site to confirm whether the core domain is reachable.
Mastodon Status Page
Check for official service status updates, maintenance notices, and incident posts for Mastodon.
Mastodon Support
Find support documentation or contact paths for Mastodon when issues persist.
Common Mastodon outage signs
These patterns help distinguish full mastodon.social downtime from partial service degradation, account problems, or route-specific failures.
When Mastodon only fails for you
Use these steps when WebsiteDown.org or official sources suggest Mastodon is generally reachable, but your own session still fails.
- Run the live check, then test feed refresh, profile loading, and posting as separate actions.
- Compare app and web behavior on Wi-Fi and mobile data before clearing sessions.
- Save the failing action, timestamp, and screenshot if official Mastodon sources have not acknowledged an incident yet.
How to check if Mastodon is down
Use this workflow to compare the WebsiteDown.org result with official sources, your own browser, and a second network before changing account or device settings.
How we check Mastodon
WebsiteDown.org checks public reachability for mastodon.social and separates that signal from product-specific symptoms inside Mastodon.
The Mastodon profile on this page is scoped to mastodon.social, categorized as Social / Community, and grouped under mastodon. It cross-checks related hosts (www.mastodon.social, mastodon.social, status.mastodon.social), uses verification sources such as Official Mastodon Website, Mastodon Status Page, Mastodon Support, and compares nearby diagnostics including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X so parent, child, and sibling service outages do not get blended together.
- mastodon.social Public Reachability: Confirms whether mastodon.social responds from regional probes before you investigate Mastodon app-specific symptoms.
- Home Feed Refresh: Mastodon can be reachable while feeds, search, or notification systems lag behind; this helps spot partial degradation.
- Account Session: Sign-in and session paths can fail while public Mastodon pages still load, so this is checked as a separate outage clue.
- Posting Or Comment Action: Tracks the posting or comment action workflow as a separate Mastodon signal, useful when the homepage and user reports disagree.
- Media Upload Path: Media delivery can fail after the homepage responds, so playback, stream startup, or CDN symptoms need their own signal.
Why trust this Mastodon check?
WebsiteDown.org keeps the live verdict, official sources, and service profile separate so you can see what is measured and what still needs confirmation.
- The live result is a reachability signal for mastodon.social from multiple regions, not a claim that every private Mastodon workflow is healthy.
- The service profile is built from curated diagnostic fields: checked surfaces, failure modes, related hosts, official sources, and limitations.
- Official Mastodon links are shown separately so you can verify provider-controlled status and support information before escalating.
