At times there have been over a half million message objects in my snac profile directory. Snac has always handled it like a champ.

      I'm currently running by @grunfink@comam.es on a Raspberry Pi Zero2. Works wonderfully.
      It's extremely easy to setup, at the price of being a bit limited on the webUI. But that does not seem to be an issue in your case(nor it's in mine).

                Say, how are edits to posts managed? Is there any indication an edit happened, a way to see the original\previous versions or to add an explanation for the changes that's not just a "Edit: x-y-z" line?

                  CW: Spicy take about Mastodon (specifically) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                  If you really believe in the silly 250 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?

                  Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.

                  I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻‍♂️

                  Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

                        I've just published version 2.91 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                        Fixed some local posts not being shown if the replied post is deleted.

                        Fixed web UI incorrect links to public posts for some configurations.

                        Fixed encoding bug in Mastodon-style share links.

                        Fixed an error that made imposible to leave empty the following hashtags or blocked hashtags from the web UI.

                        Include post attachments in the RSS feed entries.

                        Added some OpenBSD-specific documentation (contributed by oxzi).

                        Fixed some timezones (contributed by matoken).

                        Fixed some crashes (special thanks to Louis Merlin for helping me with this).

                        Updated Docker scripts to avoid generating a useless log file.

                        Fixed several memory leaks, key generation errors and HTML inconsistencies (contributed by dandelions).

                        Added ostatus.org and FEP-3b86 data to Webfinger objects.

                        Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file. Among other guidelines, I explicitly say there that AI contributions are NOT accepted.

                        snac is now available as a Yunohost app. Thank you very much to Bruno Cesar Rocha for this.

                          @Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.

                          Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.

                              Given 's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).

                              I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.

                                Dillo is great. If it wasn't for the lack of support for summary and details tags (which relies very much on), I would recommend it as the best web browser for a snac experience.

                                          MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

                                          It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

                                          What makes it different:

                                          • snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
                                          • Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
                                          • EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
                                          • Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
                                          • Markdown posting for snac
                                          • Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
                                          • Blocking and moderation tools
                                          • Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

                                          Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

                                          It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

                                          Important note:
                                          MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

                                          The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.
