Question 5

Where is mastodon.social's status page?

Accepted Answer

mastodon.social's official status page is https://status.mastodon.social. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on, so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.

Question 6

Is mastodon.social down right now?

Accepted Answer

mastodon.social: Background queues has a partial outage. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment mastodon.social reports a change. Current status is based on 4 tracked services.

Question 7

How does Pingoru know if mastodon.social is down?

Accepted Answer

We read https://status.mastodon.social directly, using mastodon.social's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle, not after someone manually marks the page as down.

Question 8

Where can I get notified when mastodon.social has an outage?

Accepted Answer

Create a free Pingoru account and add mastodon.social as a monitor. You can filter to specific services, pick severity thresholds, and route alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Question 9

mastodon.social's status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues. What's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Three common reasons:

• A real mastodon.social incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet, vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes.
• A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers. These rarely trigger a global status-page change.
• A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate.

If you suspect a real mastodon.social issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.

Question 10

Where does Pingoru get the official mastodon.social status?

Accepted Answer

We use mastodon.social's own status page at https://status.mastodon.social and cross-reference their homepage (https://mastodon.social). Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public. We use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.

Question 11

What does "Partial outage" mean?

Accepted Answer

mastodon.social has a partial outage. One or more components are down, but the rest of the service is operational.
