"#snac does not store nor cache media from other instances."

Thank goodness. I tried running other fediverse servers and with just one account I was getting gigs of cache. Snac shines here.

Hi. I understand you mean media uploaded by you, because #snac does not store nor cache media from other instances.

As of now, the only way to clean media is to go to the static/ subdirectory of your user and delete the unwanted files by hand.

If you’re looking to deploy #SNAC, the official repo contains example files for different scenarios, including a #DockerSwarm + #Traefik reverse proxy config I contributed that runs here.

If you’d like to test it without compiling and building your own image, the ready-made ones I keep for my own setup are always available at https://codeberg.org/daltux/-/packages/container/snac/versions

Hi! Well, I'm not sure. I always call them posts, as I cannot find a cool name. Someone suggested a snort.

Regarding the #snac users, I usually call them #snacizens.

How odd, I see that account's pronouns without hassle, just like the rest. Are you sure you are using the latest #snac?

I've just published version 2.88 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.

New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).

Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

#snacAnnounces #FrugalFediverse

Hi, everyone. I've just published version 2.87 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It only includes a single change, to avoid using EmojiReacts to harass users:

Hide EmojiReacts from muted actors and blocked instances.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Bad people creativity always gets me off-guard. Upgrade your snac to this version ASAP, or revert to 2.85.

There will be another release pretty soon with a better solution to delete offending EmojiReacts.

If the query variable terse of a public post page is set to anything, no header is shown.

Only now I saw this sentence and tested it. Very nice, good job!

Also I'm using #EmojiReact a lot

#SNAC keeps evolving

I've just published version 2.86 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. Once again, most of the work has been done by fellow developers because they are the best. It includes the following changes:

Truncate RSS titles at UTF-8 character boundaries (contributed by lxo).

Link contacts to single-user people pages. Also, user's posts are shown (contributed by lxo).

Added emoji reactions (contributed by violette).

Mastodon API: Fix for some client notifications (contributed by violette), fix for a status visibility error (contributed by fruye).

If the query variable terse of a public post page is set to anything, no header is shown.

Fixed search failures when the query string has any leading blank.

The migration from Mastodon process has several steps. If you've already done the move to get your followers, you must download your following_accounts.csv from your old Mastodon account and import them to your new #snac account. It's documented here:

how to import my following to #snac? I got my followers but I don't have who I followed

grunfink - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM

Thank you very much to you, Stefano. Your Fedimeteo service is a greatly valuable public service, and even if it was the only use of #snac out there, I would be fully satisfied.

Hi. #snac doesn't do anything with maximum upload sizes (if fact, there is no limit); this must be configured in your nginx / Apache / whatever httpd frontend.
