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.
I still use both, but like to keep my follows in sync...ish

Dear Fedinauts, for various reasons, I am moving (again).
This server and therefore this profile will soon be shut down.
If you would like to continue following me, you can do so here:
@oliver@microhive.me or https://microhive.me/oliver
If you don't want to follow me, I'll probably just follow you 🙂
Thank you very much!
Anyway, #snac doesn't have any of those types of timeline masking things, so it's much nicer in that respect 🙂
I guess it's not fully compatible. But I would like to know what others did with it.

@Edent take a look at other software. #GoToSocial, #Ktistec, #Snac. There are options that are much easier to deploy and much less resource intensive.

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.
