mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Tools and open datasets to support, sustain, and secure critical digital infrastructure
To help handle the massive influx of traffic we’re going to be introducing some new rate limits on ecosyste.ms, inspired by @OpenAlex@mastodon.social: a “polite pool” for users who identify themselves, and a “common pool” for everyone else.

Ecosyste.ms now serves 40m requests, 300GB of data and 15m worker jobs every day, and is used by governments, foundations and companies worldwide.
That growth has pushed us to the limit, so we’re working with @OpenSourceCollective@mastodon.social to fund the next phase and inviting others to join us.
