Interruption of service on Monday Jan. 19 at 1PM UTC

It's migration time!

In order to complete the migration to our new infrastructure, Mapstodon.Space will be offline 4 hours, starting tomorrow Monday Jan. 19 at 1PM UTC.

After using https://masto.host's great services for more than 3 years, with the instance continuing to grow, we felt it was time to fly on our own!

We've set up an infrastructure hosted by OVH in France. There will be few technical or functional changes for now, and users will find the same version of Mastodon, with the optional Elasticsearch-based full-text search feature still enabled.

We already have ideas for the future, but shhh, one thing at a time!

A few final words to thank Hugo from https://masto.host for the quality of his services (which we cannot recommend enough!), his professionalism, as well as his friendliness, and availability for this migration.

Apologies for the interruption, and see you on the other side!
