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!

Apparently med-mastodon.com went offline with no warning sometime around Dec. 28. I'm hoping @bicmay and @gregggonsalves re-establish a presence somewhere else.
@cbarbermd@med-mastodon is apparently now @cbarbermd, going from 1.6K followers to only 2.
Edit: Apparently there is no hope for getting med-mastodon back online even for a short time to aid in migrations. That sucks. zeroes.ca/@ndrwy/1158184205293… As I find other folks who have migrated elsewhere I'll add replies to this post, at least for a bit.

Edit #3, January 5: Med-mastodon is now back online, so I'll stop updating this thread. Such good news! Many thanks to Ryan who made this happen. mastodonapp.uk/@wild1145/11584…

If you've got a follow notification from me but thought you already followed me/I you - our old instance got shut down recently so I've made a new account.

Jennifer Hamilton here, formerly of med-mastodon.com. That server shut down suddenly. If you followed me before for my toots about #vaccines, #PublicHealth, #FamilyMedicine, my gripes about #ElectronicMedicalRecords #EMR, or even just a few #caturday pictures and chats about bicycling, I'm on mstdn.science now.
The old #MedMastodon went down suddenly in the last week of December 2025, and I don't have a list of my old followers. Please boost this so they can find me!

med-mastodon.com - I contacted their host and offered to help cover costs for at least a month to allow people to migrate out.
The host replied to me 6 hours ago and said the instance admin: - cancelled service - is the only one who can restore - has not agreed to offers
If you are impacted I highly recommend joining an instance listed on joinmastodon.org/servers as they are all bound to the server covenant ("give users at least 3 months of advance warning in case of shutting down")

¡Allá vamos! Soy Carlos, trabajo como fisioterapeuta hace 25 años y estoy especializado en problemas de las manos y la extremidad superior. En este tiempo he hecho de profe invitado en 5 universidades diferentes (puede que 6) durante casi 15 años, mi trasfondo es el dolor crónico y neuropático (como paciente y como terapeuta).
Vengo refugiado tras la desaparición repentina de #MedMastodon hace una semana.
Si por casualidad éramos mutuals y me perdiste ¡Ahora estoy aquí! :estelada_valenciana1:
