This account resides on an instance of (an ActivityPub server software) running on .

Also, I’m a lifelong, massive, fan. I love it all, I don’t hate on any Trek, it’s all good. Especially the bad.

I've just published version 2.88 of , the simple, minimalistic 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).

        @grunfink@comam.es that new ‘top-ten’ command line feature, could that be used to possibly drive the mastoapi’s Explore / Trending for third-party apps? Seems like it could be, but I don’t have the know how to make it happen myself. Maybe…

            @EnigmaRotor @grunfink I wanted to enable it as I'm usually posting photos on Mastodon and they are pre-processed. Metadata are stripped away. I wanted to be able to post on snac without exposing too many metadata 🙂

              @stefano @grunfink that’s wise. It is great to see snac growing while keeping the core concepts of frugal code. I like that. At some point it might replace the “big 🐘” for me as well. When my self hosting projects come to life, they will likely involve a snac instance instead of a way-too-overcomplicated solution (for a single user instance)

                            @liaizon yep, it's been a couple of years since the last bump (Reddit to Lemmy/*bin I think? Not entirely sure). I like the way the way the forkpeople are doing it, it feels like a much smoother integration than the typical chaos.

                                @malte there's a podcast where the podcasters invited people after setting up the instance and talking about it a bit for the basic idea of how things work. I'm really glad they set up their own instance as the entry point.

                                      @liaizon I think the most interesting about this new wave of Fediverse participants is that there was no big negative event which pushed them. It was some media people saying "come and try out something new with us".

                                      I don't know how much of a community there is around those podcasts, but there might be more cohesion and good will than usual?

                                              I’m just so very tired of what gets passed as “news” on mass media. It’s all garbage. They don’t fact check anything anymore and I suspect half of their content is generated by machines.

                                              The part that makes me so tired though, is, I think most people are swallowing it as vetted and true journalism.
