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.

Seriously contemplating migrating to just because I am starting to out grow in terms of size(followers/following). Don't get me wrong Snac is absolutely FANTASTIC and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone starting out their own fedi instance but Littlefedi is a lot snappier for me in terms of account size and it doesn't use near as much disk access as Snac. I haven't 100% made up my mind yet and something or someone may change it but the Littlefedi option is really looking promising.

    :mastoError: Não é só questão de preferência da "instância". Isso é um limite que o desenvolvedor do fixou no programa. Ainda bem que é software livre, então, quem se dispõe a manter as alterações necessárias faz isso em seu servidor.

    Além disso, as instâncias desta federação não estão sujeitas necessariamente ao Mastodon. O protocolo ActivityPub, que regula o padrão de troca de informações entre elas, pode ter implementações diversas. Por exemplo, meu servidor não é Mastodon e sim , sem esse limite. :snac:

        You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
        A simple, minimalistic and well documented instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
        Lots of bug fixes and tweaks, and a few things I’ve absolutely no idea about 😉

        Huge thanks to @grunfink@comam.es and all contributers!! 🎉

              I've just published version 2.97 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

              Quote-posting your own posts is now allowed (do it by adding RE: https://example.com/you/post-id in its own line in a post body).

              The Mastodon API can now be disabled by setting the mastodon_api directive to false in server.json (no need to compile it out).

              Fixed a crash in chunked transfer encoding code (special thanks to Sergey Bronnikov for bringing this to my attention).

              Tweak to JSON loading code to circunvent fmemopen() issues on Illumos / OpenIndiana systems (contributed by aleteoryx).

              Mastodon API: Fixed error in voting code (contributed by uilebheist), more aggressive old data purging.

                Maybe someone with more snac / fedi experience can help me out with this:
                Often I'll have a post in my timeline because someone I follow replied to it. I'll see the original post and the reply by the person I follow. When I visit the original post at its instance website, I'll notice it has more replies by other people that don't show in my snac UI, presumably because my instance didn't have them.

                I noticed there's a command "collect_replies" and it sounds like this would get the replies so they show up... but it doesn't seem to do anything?

                I wonder if I'm misunderstanding how fedi works or what that command does. Can one instance A ask another instance B "give me all replies to that post!" even when the replies are from even other instances C, D, E etc.?

                          I've noticed from the snac(8) manpage that there's some support for Events in snac, and I've seen one post that had an "Event" tag attached to it. what's the current state of ActivityPub Events? are we able to create Events from snac?

                                question --

                                I have two emoji, :starting_dvd: and :wikipedia_turtle:, which I have updated since I first created them, but most servers haven't updated their caches.

                                • : starting_dvd : originally had a lot of space on the left and top, but was then cropped.
                                • : wikipedia_turtle : originally had an error in its link, and thus 404'd.
                                Is there a way to notify other servers that the emoji have changed?

                                  Big no to both. Some Fediverse implementations, like the one I develop (), does not publish follower nor following counts by default.

                                    I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                    Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

                                    Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

                                    The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

                                    Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

                                    Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

                                    A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

                                    Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

                                    Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

                                      New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

                                      The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

                                      Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
