The decision is driven by burnout from daily moderation burdens (spam, bots, abuse reports, interpersonal conflicts), a deteriorating social media environment, and ongoing financial losses not covered by donations. Users have three months to migrate their accounts to another Fediverse server using Mastodon's official migration guide. Old posts and media cannot be transferred automatically, so users are advised to download an archive. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Toot.community, a Mastodon Fediverse server, will close permanently on 28 October 2026 and is already closed to new registrations. Users have roughly three months to move to another Mastodon or Fediverse server using Mastodon's official account migration guide, which transfers followers but not old posts or uploaded media, so users wanting to keep those should download a personal archive first. _Anyone tracking Fediverse server shutdowns and migration steps can follow related updates on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Mastodon, The Only Good Choice](https://daily.dev/posts/mastodon-the-only-good-choice-45lxqhbsh) · ongoing by Tim Bray · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Mastodon, a decentralized alternative to X, plans to target creators with new features](https://daily.dev/posts/mastodon-a-decentralized-alternative-to-x-plans-to-target-creators-with-new-features-15yypwbgw) · TechCrunch · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Mastodon 4.6](https://daily.dev/posts/mastodon-4-6-6qqeqbck4) · Lobsters · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Mastodon adds email newsletters so people who don’t want an account can still follow creators on the open social web](https://daily.dev/posts/mastodon-adds-email-newsletters-so-people-who-don-t-want-an-account-can-still-follow-creators-on-the-rvgxnrrs5) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#mastodon](https://daily.dev/tags/mastodon), [#fediverse](https://daily.dev/tags/fediverse) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/jorijn-schrijvershof-jorijn-jorijn-com--kow7k3did) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Jorijn Schrijvershof (@jorijn@jorijn.com)","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/jorijn-schrijvershof-jorijn-jorijn-com--kow7k3did","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/jorijn-schrijvershof-jorijn-jorijn-com--kow7k3did"},"datePublished":"2026-07-30T17:43:59.790Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T20:07:03.575Z","description":"The admin of toot.community, a Mastodon instance, announces it will permanently close on 28 October 2026.
