Due to increased number of user signups on the india.goonj.xyz mastodon instance, we will be upgrading the server to a more capable server. Please expect downtime for a couple of hours while the upgrade is completed.

The upgrade will tentatively start at 00 Hours 25th July 2023. The instance should be available within an hour if everything goes fine.
