Mastodon.World 
was updated to Mastodon v4.4.
Read more about this release and it’s new features here:
https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/07/mastodon-4.4/
If you enjoy the mastodon.world instance, you might consider donating to help us cover the costs of running it: https://ko-fi.com/fhfworld
Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.
We’re excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.

Switched to approval required sign-ups for now due to a nasty spam wave.
Working on a fix to prevent them signing up but we need to test that first. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Hey friends! It’s nearly time for #FOSDEM, the annual free and open source event in Brussels. This weekend, the Mastodon team will be based in building H.
We’ll be raising funds for the project with some of our merch - beautiful limited edition winter mugs, pins, and t-shirts. We’ll also have fun stickers to share for free, so you can show your support for Mastodon everywhere!
(just so you know: we’re a bit short on larger t-shirt sizes, so come early if you want to buy one of those)
FYI: The #pixelfed instance pixelfed.world is not run by us, they beat us to it registering the domain name :-)
We run the instance https://photofed.world
For people getting 502-errors when accessing Mastodon.World after the update we just did, clearing your browser's cache should fix that.
Mastodon.world was updated to Mastodon v4.3.3 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.3
Transferring the mastodon.world domain to another registrar.. should not result in downtime. Unless something goes wrong. In that case, panic for a few minutes and then retry.
And if you would like to use it as your default search engine, you can. This is an example of how I set up my favorite browser, @Vivaldi
Did you know we also run a metasearch engine: https://searxng.world ?
It runs the software that can be found here: https://github.com/searxng/searxng
Searxng does not track you, and you can select which search engines you would like included in your results.
More info at: https://searxng.world/info/en/about
Mastodon.world was updated to Mastodon v4.3.2. See https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.3.2
