If you want to give phanpy a try, I run an instance of it here.

I love that the #snac2 server surfaces if someone has blocked me. I get a nice notification that I was blocked every so often -- but there is one person that I am well aware of whenever they change instances (and they do it often enough that I notice) who blocks me each time.

I might not be famous, but I guess I'm infamous! Whee!

There are nice things in this "timeline", so let's find opportunities to be grateful!

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.

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

Edit: did I mention I always build from latest commit but never caught any bug :)

Webmention by https://social.golemwire.com/golemwire/p/1781275542.416093 notification in my snac server

snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

#snac2 #fediverse

I'm running snac/2.92-dev.

I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?

#snac2

I found this comment in activitypub.c while reading some of the snac2 source code :

/* unify the garbage fire that are the attachments */

Involuntary chortle activated. It is a good read so far.

'sloccount' says snac2 is valuable:

Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 740,878

#snac2

I suppose it could be somehow related to the fact that this instance is rather old and I have set that image as my avatar over a year ago and maybe it wasn't recorded as file that shouldn't be cleaned up.

I'll see what else got removed, I have backups…

FediMeteo, HAProxy, and the art of not wasting snac threads

How FediMeteo uses HAProxy caching, static pages, and small FreeBSD jails to keep snac quiet and serve ActivityPub traffic efficiently.

• Light on resources. I can run this on a potato if I wanted and it would run great (I'm not, but I could.)
• Backups are easy. Tar up the directory. Done.
• Migrations are easy. Install nginx, build snac, untar backup. Done.
• Quirky web interface. It takes a little to get used to it, but it is very functional and it's got character. I thought I would use Phanpy with it more, but I'm not. I enjoy the snac web interface.
• Works (mostly) with Mastodon clients.
• No crazy caching of photos, avatars and other media. This is a really big deal because my disk usage is so much lower than when I ran Mastodon.
• No database. NO DATABASE. So good.
• Fast. snac is really fast doing everything. It's nice.
• @grunfink@comam.es is awesome. Friendly and responsive.

I sincerely love you weirdos. <3

Edit: added transparency to image. Scratch that, GtS seems to not like transparency in AVIF, so I restored the original and uploaded a black background variant as well

I find #snac2 better than gotosocial. I was able to have snac2 up and running faster than it took to even peruse the gotosocial docs.

Also, snac2 is in the Debian repositories so installing on Linux is as simple as one command.
