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.

@the_coffee_lover yes! I
set up a #snac instance just a few weeks ago.
It’s been purring along nicely, without ever giving me any trouble.
Do you refer to #bsdcafe ?
Do I need to call for you the official #BaristaForever ?
Anyway for individual use you might look at:
#snac: codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
#honk: humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk (it seems unavailable)
#littlefedi: littlefedi.org
For what I know many people run this little server on little board, from home using #IPv6 with a custom domain. Don't ask for more... 🙏
@chadmccullough@bsd.cafe #LittleFedi and #Snac are both light weight software that can be run off a raspberry Pi even
I don't see anything immediately wrong in the logs, but it's a bit hard trawling through them after the fact. I'll have to do some more experimenting, probably set up a dummy channel on my peertube server to test in real-time.
I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!
With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.
Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.
This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.
Thanks, @grunfink !

Somehow my main instance, which is a large Mastodon server operated by professionals, is significantly slower than my little single-user #snac instance running on the Raspi Zero in my shelf.
I may change it to return the correct code eventually, but I don't consider it a priority.
The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.
Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.
Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.
If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.
Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).
Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.
Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).
Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

@jspath55 @stefano Nice! Perhaps I’ll do something similar with my single core RISC-V email server. A gig of RAM is extreme overkill for an email server.
Curious - what’re the advantages and disadvantages of LittleFedi compared with, say, #snac?
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.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
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.
