Mastodon is a federated social network which is comparable in functionality to Twitter and part of the Fediverse. Due to the federation, instances are constantly joining the network or disappearing.

As of January 2019, it is not possible to properly migrate an account from one instance to another[1].

Archival

Instances can be archived reasonably well by starting a recursive crawl from the "about" page, which contains a link to the admin profile. This may not cover the entire instance though.

Outdated instances

Instances that are running old versions of Mastodon are likely to not be properly maintained anymore and may be at risk of disappearing. They are tracked at:

Instance homepage grabs

User:JustAnotherArchivist is regularly running !ao jobs for all known instances' homepages (= "about" pages for current versions of Mastodon) through ArchiveBot based on the instances.social list:
