Just as a quick one for the #MedMastodon folks that have already found new homes that they wish to use as their new primary account.

You can still move your follower / following relationships from MedMastodon to your new instance (Or if you want to make MedMastodon your primary account again it will work the other way around as well) and there's a really good @FediTips guide here on how it works and how to move your relationships - https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server/

There is also the ability thanks to @oli to export your posts to a static website meaning you can share your old posts permanently for reference on a website of your own, something that might be valuable if you don't plan to return to your account in the future - https://posty.1sland.social/

Okay #MedMastodon folks - The instance is now back up and running I'm pleased to share. Things might take a moment to catch-up and I have sent out an announcement so hopefully anyone that had accounts that doesn't see this will get the e-mail ping letting them know everything is currently back online.

I will post a bit more about the plan in the near future but the long story short is nothing is planned to change that folks will see, the main goal for me is to get the site up and running, catch up on the activities that look to be outstanding and get a plan together for migrating everything onto new infrastructure.

Also a huge shoutout to @mastohost who have been excellent at keeping the server "Paused" effectively without deleting data even when there was no confirmed migration path and a real big thanks to Nick for being willing to transfer the server and keep the community running!

EDIT - Blog post with details: https://blog.atlas-media.co.uk/2026/01/05/med-mastodon-the-future/

As a bit of a different one, I have just had an e-mail from Nick who founded and setup #MedMastodon after I offered to take over the site following it's short notice closure just before the new year, he has come back now to confirm he's happy for me to take on the running the maintenance of the site and has looped in the team from Masto.Host to progress this.

I'm hoping that means we can get the site back up and running in the not too distant future and I'll look to get it migrated over to the same infrastructure that we use for MastodonApp.UK and Universeodon.com to hopefully give some better flexibility for growth and benefit from the existing work and scale in place.

I'll keep folks updated as and when I hear more and as we progress getting the site back online.
