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.

Ok, I'm testing something cool.

A blend of #snac, #Mastodon, #honk, #GoToSocial...and more.

This is running on a Raspberry PI Zero W, powered by NetBSD. The same that is powering my own smart thermostat. And it's quick.

I'll use this account and try to "stress" it.

@scips@mastodon.social nice! This isn't ready for release, yet, but you can surely try with #snac

    users, . How do I reply to a post of another user who I am not following? The authorize_interaction seems to allow only Follow, Like and Boost. What am I missing?

      In all honesty?. No idea ..
      I don't use third party clients .. most of them are written without in mind, so I really don't expect them to be a good alternative for
      Should you (or anyone for that matter) come across a third party client that treats as a first class citizen, please let me know and I'll install it right away on my Android phone.
      Other than that, the web interface has always work wonders for me =)

          It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
          And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

          True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.

                finally sends me push notifications!

                Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from App for iPhone.

                What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

                  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.

                    I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.70 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                    Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

                    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.
