Questions
Is Mastodon down right now?
The vendor reports a major incident. Our homepage check still succeeds, so the impact may be limited to part of the service. Official status: The vendor reports an active issue
Mastodon not working for me but the status is fine. What now?
If Mastodon is not working only for you, it is usually local: try a different browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. If lots of people report it here at the same time, the problem is on Mastodon's side.
How does Damn is it down decide Mastodon's status?
Three signals. Anonymous reports are compared with the usual volume for this hour. HTTP checks from Cloudflare have to fail twice in a row before we call our side down. When the vendor publishes a status JSON feed, that incident level is included too.
How often is Mastodon checked?
About every five minutes. The cron runs each minute and rotates through the catalog, so a full pass takes a few minutes.
