        @grunfink@comam.es here are some improvements to the displaying of messages in people/actor pages in :
        • use timeline_simple_list to see all timeline messages, not only initial posts, and saturate show at max_timeline_entries to avoid silently skipping posts
        • also show posts boosted by the actor, and user's posts with actor's likes and emojireacts, i.e., anything that user may have seen in private timeline or notifications

              @grunfink@comam.es here's a patch for that extends the recently-added per-actor "People" page to display some of that actor's latest posts as well. the skip and show iteration parameters refer to the user's private timeline, and those ranges are then filtered to show only the actor's posts. I've added a "More (x 10)" button to make searching faster, in case the actor's posts are too sparse.

                  Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

                  I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

                  Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

                  FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

                      Two Fediverse clients I like are Elk and Phanpy, but both had the same issue: the inability to filter "replies" and "boosts" from the timeline. For me this is essential. I can't keep up with my timeline, and if I also see replies to posts unrelated to what I follow, it just becomes chaos. So I tried to implement these filters and opened a PR.

                      The Elk developers have already merged it into the main branch, so we should soon see the two hide options appear in Elk. Hopefully the same will happen in Phanpy as well, because this greatly improves the experience on two excellent Fediverse tools, which are also compatible with snac.

                          SNAC, io e l’arte nobile del “funzionerà … spero”

                          Oggi ho fatto una cosa che sulla carta sembra semplice, nella realtà è una saga fantasy con colpi di scena, personaggi secondari inutili e un boss finale che si chiama “perché non va” 😄

                          Non conoscendo SNAC, ho deciso di impararlo nel modo più romantico possibile...
                          a tentativi, a intuizione, a “ahhhh ecco dov’era” e a piccoli trionfi che durano 7 secondi 🎭

                          Le peripezie, in versione epica ma senza tecnicismi

                          - Primo contatto
                          entusiasmo, fiducia, il classico “dai, è un attimo”
                          - Secondo contatto
                          SNAC mi guarda e fa finta di niente
                          - Terzo contatto
                          io che parlo con SNAC come se fosse una creatura senziente
                          “ti prego, collaboriamo”
                          - Quarto contatto
                          scopro che le cose funzionano quando smetto di dare per scontato che funzionino
                          - Quinto contatto
                          una piccola vittoria, poi una piccola sconfitta, poi un’altra vittoria
                          l’altalena emotiva del sistemista in piena regola
                          - Sesto contatto
                          la svolta
                          non perché ho trovato la bacchetta magica, ma perché ho fatto esperienza vera

                          Morale della storia

                          SNAC non si “conosce” per sentito dire
                          SNAC si conosce attraversandolo, inciampando con stile, prendendo appunti mentali e tornando all’attacco con un sorriso 😎

                          Adesso gira
                          e io mi sento come se avessi domato un drago usando solo pazienza, testardaggine e una quantità non dichiarabile di “ok riprovo” 🐉✨

                          Se anche voi state imparando qualcosa di nuovo
                          vi mando solidarietà, caffè virtuale e un buff su +10 perseveranza ☕🚀

                                      ⏳️ Mais um ano se vai e, ao contrário de vários outros sistemas, :mastodon:, o mais comum na nossa querida Web Social federada, permanece sem deixar publicar Markdown, embora exiba o de terceiros. Neste caso, que considero pior, ainda não ocorre sequer um aviso a quem o utiliza de que houve um de suas publicações. 🔕

                                      Sim, essa funcionalidade acaba de ser implementada pelo SNAC (merci @vi@downbad.fr 👏), nem foi lançada ainda e já estou me gabando por utilizá-lo! :tobeyBully:

                                      Gostei muito de poder reagir assim às publicações, como já era possível em outros como , , etc. Mas , embora, até então, não exibisse EmojiReact junto à publicação correspondente, já gerava notificação de sua ocorrência faz tempo. Achava que no Mastodon isso ficasse sempre como se fosse uma curtida, mas, apenas ao testar isso, notei que não surte qualquer efeito. O mais curioso é que consta uma estrutura de dados que serviria para isso desde Mastodon 3.1.0. Ficamos assim então! :travolta:

                                        A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

                                        The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

                                        - Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

                                        - Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

                                        - Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

                                        - Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

                                        - Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

                                        - Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

                                        - The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

                                        - Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

                                        If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

                                        And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

                                                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.

                                                  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.
