I can confirm that is an excellent client for Linux and BSD users on . It's also great for Mastodon, , etc.

      also disallows AI contributions now :)

      a thread on a Codeberg issue titled "AI Policy", on the repository for Snac2.

Me: "Hiya, just coming by to ask whether or not this projects accepts AI-generated or assisted code or media, as I seek more projects to add to the no-ai list"

grunfink: "Hi. No AI contributions are accepted.

I've just updated the README to reflect this."

grunfink: "Much better, I've added a CONTRIBUTING.md file with more information about how to contribute, and a clearer statement that AI in snac's code is *not* welcome."

me: "oh hell yeah, will add Snac to the list in April's update for sure :)"

        @0x0@hachyderm.io Well it runs this snac instance, and occasionally I sit down to enjoy some slow computing experiencing the X Window System the way it was meant to be: Simple, twm-like (ctwm, technically) and text-oriented. ;)

                Now # Snac is available to install from app catalog -> https://apps.yunohost.org/app/snac

                What is Snac?

                Snac (also known as ) is a simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance. It is written in portable C and uses a file-based storage system with no database required.

                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

                TL;DR: Install Yunohost on Debian system, it manages your domains, email, SSl certificates and you can install multiple applications from its app catalog.

                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.

                  I have a question about snac.

                  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

                      I spent the morning hacking up a way to have populate the Explore section of with trending posts, news, and hashtags. It’s really just piggybacking off of mastodon.social’s explore API, but it’s better than nothing at all!

                          Recap for an activitypub instance. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                          OK let's recap.
                          I have a GMKtec nucbox G3, Intel n100, 512gb ssd, 16gb ram.

                          • mastodon-glitchsoc: no. Or for a small instance. Too heavy.
                          • Sharkey: no. Or for a small instance. Too heavy, and too ma'y informations on the screen.
                          • Mitra: no. Could have been good one, but users can write stuff and make it readable only if you pay with XRM (or other crypto shit)
                          • Iceshrimp: no. The dev is random.
                          • Hubzilla: why not. But doesn't work properly with my yunohost setup.
                          • BonFire: why not. But nobody knows it. There is no mobile app so far, but it's planned.
                          • Akkoma: why not, but it's he'll to install.
                          • Gotosocial: why not. But there is no UI, need to use phanpy, phanpy doesn't have mobile app and needs to be pinned on the screen. Other mobile apps take GTS in charge though. Haven't found anything bad until now.
                          • Hollo: why not, but when it will be on Yunohost, otherwise I don't want to use a specific service (railway, as apparently it's the fastest way to install it)
                          • Snac2: why not, probably the simplest to set up, lightweight. But need an nginx to point the domain on the software, and need a reverse proxy.

                            Well, it looks like it does not work yet from Ivory. I’ll have to dig around a little and see what I can figure out.

                              So it looks like #snac2 supports polls from the mastodon API now, meaning I should be able to post this poll from Ivory right now… let’s see!
