@residualentropy start with a fork but start with something more primed for customization like @bonfire or @takahe or #SNAC
Mastodon API: fixed a last-minute bug that broke some API functions.
I apologize for any inconvenience. This week has not been very good for me, but that is no excuse.
I'll release a new version ASAP fixing this specific bug.
I'm super embarrased. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Markdown-style links are now supported.
The alt text in attachments that have one is also shown in a dropdown just below it (useful for environments where mouseover is not available, i.e. for phones and tablets).
Instance-wide notifications has been implemented (contributed by louis77). A small tweak to the default CSS was made to suit this change; please consider updating your style.css (see doc/style.css as an example).
The avatar and/or the header images can now be deleted (contributed by louis77).
Code cleaning: HTTP status codes use names instead of hardcoded integers (contributed by louis77).
Mastodon API: fixed login problems with the official Mastodon API, IceCube and Toot! on iOS, some fixes for Mona and Tokodon apps, user credentials can now be edited from apps (all contributed by louis77), fixed crash on unset content-type header.
The webfinger content-type response header is now RFC-compliant (contributed by steve-bate).
Improved support for the HTTP OPTIONS method, allowing sites like https://mastodonlistmanager.org to work.
Fixed non-working content warnings in the public instance timeline.

I'm glad to know that you plan to add #snac support to your Feditext app. If you need any help of have any doubt, please ask. I suppose that, if your app supports the Mastodon API, snac should work out of the box.
Is your Fedi client available somewhere, as a git repo or whatever?
Mastodon and/or Mastodon-compatibles really do need a "suppress this thread from my timeline" feature, like the "mute thread notifications" but for when you don't want to see it at all.The fediverse server I develop, #snac ¹, has this feature with a
Hide button. You can suppress full conversations or just a subtree of one. Further replies to hidden threads are also immediately dropped.- The maximum number of simultaneous processes would be harder to control (it should be done on the frontend http server, and that would require specific configuration for every server implementation).
- Every activity (likes, boosts, posts) generates a very big bunch of connections. After a new one, the process should manage the full queue and not exit until it's done. If there are a bunch of these operations still running, the http server would not open on new queries, or at least it will require some configuration tuning. As it's now, it's trivial to reserve resources and give top priority to incoming requests.
- And most important, the problem of retries. The fediverse is a jungle of overloaded, fallen, slow servers. Activity messages should be stored somewhere to be retried later, probably after a timer. This is much harder to manage from a CGI, that only runs on demand.
As I say, it's not impossible, but a project with this approach should be carefully developed taking this thinks into account.
I'm glad you like #snac.

New user feature to search by post content (using regular expressions) or tag.
Added some (partial) support for Event object types.
Minor fixes: Allow unboosting your own posts (contributed by khm), CSS fixes for the Dillo browser (contributed by kvibber).

Attachments are totally supported, being them images, video, audio, whatever. But, if you are experimenting "file too big" errors, they do not come from #snac itself (there is no enforced limit), but from your nginx / Apache / whatever web server; try reconfiguring it to allow larger POST uploads.
Event activity type yet, but it doesn't seem too hard to add some support for it (it's the first time I find one in the wild, to be honest).CC: @mikedev@fediversity.site @streams@fediversity.site @julian@community.nodebb.org @nodebb@fosstodon.org @silverpill@mitra.social @mitra@mitra.social
Posts that were liked or boosted can now be unliked and unboosted.
Outgoing message timeouts are no longer hardcoded and can be configured (see snac(8) for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some incorrect unfollows under special conditions (with shared inboxes enabled and users from the same instance that follow each other, the internal message distributor was confused).
Mastodon API: Added support for lists.
Added a header to avoid over-zealous caching in some browsers (contributed by louis77).
Added support for running and federating inside hidden networks like Tor, I2P or Loki (contributed by iwojima).
Fixed an error processing polls coming from Pleroma instances.

Usage tips: Use social media as little as possible. Go for a walk. Meet with friends. Read a good book.

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.

The #ActivityPub actor of type Group was defined basically for this; to boost to their followers all posts that mention it. Programs like Lemmy and the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin implement 'channels' this way.
Implementing support for this in snac won't be too difficult, but I want to keep it as slim as possible. I don't totally discard the idea, though, so I'll write it down as a possible thing to be done in the future.
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).
