Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).

I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.

What is Snac?

It supports creating and managing user accounts, posting, following, and interacting with the wider Fediverse. It also includes a Mastodon-compatible API for use with third-party clients.

IMO: It is the best option for people who wants to self-host their own Fediverse instance.

What is YunoHost

YunoHost is an operating system aiming to simplify server administration and therefore democratize self-hosting while making sure it stays reliable, secure, ethical and lightweight. It is a copylefted libre software project maintained by volunteers. Technically, it can be seen as a server distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux.

Waiting approval, here's the PR https://github.com/YunoHost/apps/pull/3375

I have Mastodon at gamerplus.org.

I want to install snac2 at snac.gamerplus.org.

If in the future, if I want the snac2 instance to be at gamerplus.org how difficult is that?

Is it a reconfiguration or is it a reinstall and transfer data?

Or can I just do it with DNS?

I would probably like for it to continue to work at snac.gamerplus.org too, to avoid linkrot.

What is the best way to change domains or add a domain to an existing snac2 server?

Thanks

Decidi subir uma instância do #Snac by @grunfink
#Snac is #Amazing

Melhor opção para quem quer hospedar uma instância single-user (ou para poucos users)

O meu usarei como minha instância em Inglês, provavelmente usarei mais como um microblog do que como uma rede social.

Continuo usando aqui como minha conta principal no Fediverso

Obrigado @daltux "roubei" seu CSS :)

I would even host it at home, but it seems like huge parts of the Fediverse are IPv4-only, and #ActivityPub behind Dual-Stack Lite doesn't sound like fun.

The difference from other Mastodon API clients is that this one has #snac as a first class citizen.

I'm so glad!

I forget who relatively recently was looking for an iOS client capable of working with #snac : via @elena I read about @mastoblaster which says of itself:

Built for snac, by design
Many apps support snac as a side effect. MastoBlaster makes it primary and follows snac’s Mastodon API support closely for predictable, polished behavior.

https://mastoblaster.app

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.
