jrollans.com 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.

Ghost has some exciting news in their latest #ActivityPub progress update:
"The other thing we're now working full-speed towards is open sourcing the new ActivityPub Service GitHub repository. That means the code will be available for anyone and everyone to see, use, follow-along-with, or contribute-to."
This is dope! Looking forward to tracking the development live 👀

Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json
file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8)
for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.
Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).
On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications
server flag is set to true
, unveil()
is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail
binary and pledge()
doesn't set the exec
promise.

This release has been inspired by the album Eternal Embers by #Meltt.
Incoming posts can now be filtered out by content using regular expressions on a server level (these regexes are written in the filter_reject.txt
file at the server base directory; see snac(5)
and snac(8)
).
Improved page position after hitting the Hide
or MUTE
buttons (for most cases).
Use a shorter maximum conversation thread level (also, this maximum value is now configurable at compilation level with the MAX_CONVERSATION_LEVELS
define).
Fixed a bug where editing a post made the attached media or video to be lost.
The way of refreshing remote actor data has been improved.
Posting from the command-line now allows attachments.
Added defines for time to enable MacOS builds (contributed by andypiper).

This release has been inspired by the song The Raven by #CarolineLavelle.
Speaking of ActivityPub, anyone have some concise and simple breakdown documentation links handy? There’s kind of an overwhelming amount or information out there.
