Apparently med-mastodon.com went offline with no warning sometime around Dec. 28. I'm hoping@bicmayand@gregggonsalvesre-establish a presence somewhere else.
@cbarbermd@med-mastodonis apparently now@cbarbermd, going from 1.6K followers to only 2.Not much info about what happened except for this Reddit post:
reddit.com/r/Mastodon/comments…Edit: Apparently there is no hope for getting med-mastodon back online even for a short time to aid in migrations. That sucks.

As I find other folks who have migrated elsewhere I'll add replies to this post, at least for a bit.
Hi!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 offersIf 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")
