#mastoblaster #snac #fediverse

I have set up #snac on another host and I am quite liking it.

I am hoping I can find a reasonable way to plumb certain RSS feeds through to some
accounts without resorting to writing yet another RSS feed parser myself

At times there have been over a half million message objects in my snac profile directory. Snac has always handled it like a champ.

#snac ... Snac's Not A Crappie.

I come out to see that the marvelous @lisamelton@mastodon.social gave it a boost! Thank you Lisa!

Then I went to check on my VPS and it is showing:

load average: 0.07, 0.05, 0.05

New #snac instance survived a Lisa boost. Yay! (Lisa Melton Boost Certified)

#fediverse

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.
