Both Mastodon.social and Mastodon.cloud seem to be borked.

Admin@Mastodon.cloud said he was moving servers and updating to 1.6.1 so maybe it all went horribly wrong. Admin@Mastodon.social is the main mastodon developer which suggests the problem might be the new 1.6.1 release.

This makes me sad. Even though the Mastodon community doesn't really feel like it's really taken off just yet. We've become used to systems that just work so having two of the major instances just go off line is not good.

Sadly I feel that these community attempts are always going to be niche.

I just wish that G+ didn’t have that niche feeling as well

+John Davidson it's a slow burner.

And as long as it remains the most flexible and truly "social" it's continue to be where I hangout most.

.cloud is running but very flaky. I did manage to export the following csv and imported it into mammouth.cafe It's odd to watch everything syncing as the list is added to the federation and new toots come in.

How many backup accounts do you need and how do you keep the follower lists in sync?

+Julian Bond I've 2 accounts, and very informally.
