snac.kagolug.org is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.
Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.
Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.
If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.
Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).
Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.
Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).
Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

Added a new admirations entry point to the web UI, containing a timeline of liked, boosted and reacted posts. Please take note that, after installing the new version, it will start empty, and be filled with subsequent reactions (contributed by violette).
It's now possible to disable showing posts in a given set of languages.
Nested quoted posts are limited up to 3 levels.
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replies_posts to true in server.json, remote posts that a local user has replied to are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replied_me to true in server.json, remote replies to local posts are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
Ensure actors' public key PEM never includes anything after the end marker.
Fixed some memory leaks (contributed by inz).
Several additional keyId checks (many thanks to lainsoykaf for bringing this to my attention).
Fixed crash in the JSON parser (many thanks to nullenvk for bringing this to my attention).
Mastodon API: fixed lost custom emojis after edition (contributed by e0w0e).
Updated French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish translations (contributed by dragondaddy, daltux, zen).

Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_inbox_collection is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because it seems to be used for harrasing people.
Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_history is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because archived history files don't reflect reality after posts are deleted or modified (they always have been an ugly kludge).
Changed default: in previous versions, posts with a scope of unlisted were shown in public pages and RSS feeds. Now, they are no longer shown. If you want to get back to previous behaviour, use a new toggle in the User Settings section (see snac(1) for more information).
New admin configuration option: if the purge_static value is set to true in server.json, each user's static directory is explored and those files there that are no longer attached to any post or referenced anywhere are deleted. See snac(8) for more information about those cases where you may not want to enable this option.
Allow serving files from subdirectories of the static/ subdirectory (contributed by la_ninpre).
Minor tweak to webfinger code to handle Hubzilla's peculiarities.
Fixed a search case where URLs to GotoSocial statuses were misidentified as accounts.
Accounts that follow you are now marked with a thumb-up emoji, because followers are adorable people.
Fixed some account export errors.
Fixed an incorrect hash in post links.
Show an account's location link in the people page, if they have one.
Mastodon API: Fixed hashtags loosing the link after editing a post, minor tweak in access token processing (contributed by trondd555).
Drop usage of PATH_MAX (contributed by sergiodj).
New Polish translation (contributed by kpm).
Updated German and Czech translations (contributed by zen and pmjv).
