1) The text formatting options is much better than in Mastodon. At least, it exists, comparing with Mastodon UI 🙂. I can use this, or this, or this, or this or even:

this

Sadly, the @volpeon@icy.wyvern.rip emojis looks like accessible only on Mastodon, so here I could use just default emojis 😞.

2) The supported Mastodon API is enough to connect to the Snac2 instance via Pachli. I could reading timeline, following the users, blocking the users, use likes, boosts and write posts or comments. Sadly, looks like I can't report users, or create additional groups (with separate timelines). Possibly, this function is not supported by Snac2.

3) The timeline is not strictly chronological — if I interact with some toot (fav, boost or write a reply), then it going to the top of the timeline.

4) The default HTML1 interface of snac is incredibly fast. Comparing with default interface of Mastodon (or even Misskey/Sharkey interfaces) in terms of speed on my hardware: the Misskey/Sharkey default UI is a Trabant, the Mastodon UI is Nissan Solaris, and the Snac2 UI is F1 bolid 🙂

5) There is no interface to see the list of blocked or muted users, so if I block someone, then there is no way to cancel it 😞.

6) There is strange behavior of the timeline — it I press the "More..." URL to load the next page of toots and press "Like" or "Boost" on some toot, then the first page is loaded, not the second 😞. So, it is better to open interesting toots in the separate tabs and fav/boots it here, not from the tab with main timeline — if I don't want to lost the reading progress.

7) If I'm a paranoid and disallow viewing my posts or posts I'm interacted with in the "Public" page of Snac — then I'm unable to see contents of my profile (which posts, replies, etc I made). The only one way to see it — use third-party clients, like Pachli.

That might explain why I have a single instance snac
server, and still get basically spam posts.

I know I get something similar to that when there is
like a secondary relationship thru someone i am following.
But these things I see seemingly have no connecting relationships.

Yeah, I'm not enthused about the *key / *oma web interfaces. I can understand why an admin would care more about the backend, but as a user, the front-end is what I'm more concerned with. ;)

#snac2 is cool, and I'm looking forward to seeing how #littleFedi matures. :)

Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.

I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.

#Introduction

My name is HiMY (Pronounced Him-Me), from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

I have been following all things #LittleFedi ever since @stefano 's replies about it began appearing in #snac2 related conversations.

Found myself reflecting on the LittleOne Community and LittleFedi possibilities often when I've been going about my day, away from the computer.

I'm usually that person in the room who looks at things from a different point of view and asks that question which seems obvious in hindsight, yet difficult to spot before it being raised.

For the past month, I keep seeing possibilities here, and the only way to ask such questions about them, was to finally join and experience LittleFedi for myself, to test my assumptions instead of remaining an outside observer.

Away from the computer, you may find me making #Labyrinths in and around my hometown of Toronto.

I haven't seen anywhere else in the Fediverse is that it notifies me when someone has blocked me.

#snac2 has it.

@grunfink I feel like this SNAAQ fact should be brought to your attention: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:iskdt7ztxrpiliznjaaacs5i/post/3mu2peopjmk2t / @andreazanin.bsky.social

I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!

With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social @stefano@bsd.cafe I have been contemplating moving from Mastodon to #snac2 for a while now – will there be a detailed comparison of #littleFedi to other AP servers at some point?

@ChuckMcManis

Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.

Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.

I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.
