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've used Tusky before, and I know that works with snac, but I'm not sure if there might be some better options with a good, user-friendly UI. If there's anything that shows "Favorites" as a thumbs up, or Boosts as "Share", might make for an easier transition.
I'm running snac/2.92-dev.
I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?
Letztens lief der Link von #snac2 an mir vorbei. Eine in C geschriebene #ActivityPub Instanz die genau das tut was sie soll: Deine Daten auf Deinem Server halten, klein und sparsam. Für #OpenBSD, #FreeBSD, #Linux.Kein SIgnup, limitiertes, funktionelles Design (hello 90s), kein #Javascript, aber alle Möglichkeiten und komplette Doku in Manpages, Unterset von #markdown, fast beliebige Textlänge und ein anpassbares style.css. Zum selbstkompilieren.
But first, let's see how this post fares. Here we go ...

I've been on the fence about hosting my own #fediverse account for a while now, mainly because of the insane hardware requirements.
I've considered pleroma/akkoma for a while, but i don't know the first thing about elixir and their docs are not the most clear. I've been really tempted by #GoToSocial, but #snac's easy install & general simplicity made me take the plunge.
