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.
Not much going on over here, now that Pound and Snac have been tested for a bit and the configuration stabilized.
There is one remaining issue: Some remote instances keep submitting likes and such repeatedly and at various intervals (typically hours). As others using Snac are experiencing the same, at least I know it is not my platform.
Btw, the invitation still stands: If you want an account here, drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.

First I thought it was some rejection of my instance since I changed server, but since I've noticed it happens even with instances I hadn't seen before.
Hi @grunfink@comam.es
Does #snac2 do these shenanigans?
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/http_signatures/
Edit: it seems it should work?
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/issues/491
I notice that the /people/ section of snac gives broken links to follower and followee profiles.
For instance entries for mastodon users are like this:
https://mastodon.social/ap/users/253190229248136435
Which appears to be an API endpoint rather than a web link. Links like this lead to a not found page.
Which also explains the strange AP endpoints that don't help us seeing context.
It is explained in this part a bit down the website here:
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#disallow_unauthenticated_api_access
And if not, well, then this was me shouting into the proverbial big void. Win-win either way?
