I've just updated my instance to stable version 2.92 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
A lot of tweaks and new admin configs, woohoo!👍
From release notes: "Accounts that follow you are now marked with a thumb-up emoji, because followers are adorable people." 👍♥️
and "Minor tweak to webfinger code to handle Hubzilla's peculiarities." Many thanks for this, because I'm also on Hubzilla. 🎉

          I've just published version 2.92 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

          Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_inbox_collection is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because it seems to be used for harrasing people.

          Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_history is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because archived history files don't reflect reality after posts are deleted or modified (they always have been an ugly kludge).

          Changed default: in previous versions, posts with a scope of unlisted were shown in public pages and RSS feeds. Now, they are no longer shown. If you want to get back to previous behaviour, use a new toggle in the User Settings section (see snac(1) for more information).

          New admin configuration option: if the purge_static value is set to true in server.json, each user's static directory is explored and those files there that are no longer attached to any post or referenced anywhere are deleted. See snac(8) for more information about those cases where you may not want to enable this option.

          Allow serving files from subdirectories of the static/ subdirectory (contributed by la_ninpre).

          Minor tweak to webfinger code to handle Hubzilla's peculiarities.

          Fixed a search case where URLs to GotoSocial statuses were misidentified as accounts.

          Accounts that follow you are now marked with a thumb-up emoji, because followers are adorable people.

          Fixed some account export errors.

          Fixed an incorrect hash in post links.

          Show an account's location link in the people page, if they have one.

          Mastodon API: Fixed hashtags loosing the link after editing a post, minor tweak in access token processing (contributed by trondd555).

          Drop usage of PATH_MAX (contributed by sergiodj).

          New Polish translation (contributed by kpm).

          Updated German and Czech translations (contributed by zen and pmjv).

            After three months and 1.6k posts later on snac, I'm super happy. Main things that I like about running snac for my Fediverse presence:

            • Light on resources. I can run this on a potato if I wanted and it would run great (I'm not, but I could.)
            • Backups are easy. Tar up the directory. Done.
            • Migrations are easy. Install nginx, build snac, untar backup. Done.
            • Quirky web interface. It takes a little to get used to it, but it is very functional and it's got character. I thought I would use Phanpy with it more, but I'm not. I enjoy the snac web interface.
            • Works (mostly) with Mastodon clients.
            • No crazy caching of photos, avatars and other media. This is a really big deal because my disk usage is so much lower than when I ran Mastodon.
            • No database. NO DATABASE. So good.
            • Fast. snac is really fast doing everything. It's nice.
            • @grunfink@comam.es is awesome. Friendly and responsive.

              Looks like it has basic Markdown -> HTML converting. Neat.

              It also allows a subset of straight HTML.

              It converts some text like 🙂into emoji, which I don't like, though. Leave my alone ;)

                    Because snac2 is a standalone daemon and does not natively speak FastCGI
                    This is incorrect; does speak FastCGI natively. You can set it up on OpenBSD without the need of relayd.

                    See the snac(8) manpage for more information.

                        If your picture makes it past the horp censors, your picture will appear on the subversive.pics website and the rss feed!

                                            If you really believe in the silly 500 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?

                                            Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.

                                            I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻‍♂️

                                            Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

                                              Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file. Among other guidelines, I explicitly say there that AI contributions are NOT accepted.
