schmonz.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.
"#snac does not store nor cache media from other instances."Thank goodness. I tried running other fediverse servers and with just one account I was getting gigs of cache. Snac shines here.
As of now, the only way to clean media is to go to the static/ subdirectory of your user and delete the unwanted files by hand.
If you’d like to test it without compiling and building your own image, the ready-made ones I keep for my own setup are always available at https://codeberg.org/daltux/-/packages/container/snac/versions

#MRW I see a toot that ends with something like "3/19"
My Brother in Christ, there is A BETTER WAY.

Oh, and also, "That could've been a blog, brah." ;)

#snac, el más mejor servidor #activitypub del mundo mundial. Escrito en lenguaje C, el único y verdadero, es del tipo "instalar y olvidar" porque no da problemas y ocupa un mínimo de RAM y apenas CPU. Software como se hacía antes: óptimo.
My main (and truly only issue) with #snac is it's overreliance on filesystem operations. it's very cool from a purely unix kind of standpoint where you can see the elegance of such a design, but in practice, it's just way too much overhead Having it operate with sqlite instead, as a baseline, would already make it much more efficient than it is I do like that people are engineering stuff like this though, having the entire program be a self contained repository of readable C, that implements the basic features of mastodon, is kind of dope!
@wasteland_rider Yes I did close the ticket. The #snac instanance is running inside a #FreeBSD #jail and connected to the outside world via a #nginx reverse proxy.
What I have discovered is not 100% perfect, but login, browsing the timeline etc. ist working fine. What is missing actually are the notifications. But for this I want to open an seperate issue since the login issue is closed.
Fixed crash in pronouns processing (contributed by byte).
Added counters in the people page (contributed by byte).
New command-line option refresh, to refresh all follower and following Actor objects, marking them as broken if they are.

Regarding the #snac users, I usually call them #snacizens.
(Trying out mobile image uploads with #snac #snac2 and #IceCubes #IceCubesApp)
I’m trying some apps. Ice Cubes is nice, but doesn’t work with #snac and it’s open source, which is a great plus
Tusker is nice and works perfectly with snac, but doesn’t allow to quote post (which is ok, for snac, a bit less for Mastodn)
Toot! Is nice and funny. Worth investigating more.
Mona is clear and seems to be working with #snac too
Ivory looks interesting, but I should consider if I want to pay a monthly fee.
…I’ll have some fun…
But if I switch, I want to keep the cool address like @SOMEONE@uninformation.org and not change to something like @SOMEONE@nano.uninformation.org. Adventurous!

If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.
New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).
Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).
If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).
Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).
Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.87 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30679
It's churning through GitHub Continuous Integration checks (1 of 3 passed so far which is a good sign the other two will complete successfully).
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
p.s. the other day I read your napcop proposal and I dig the acronym. ;)

Hide EmojiReacts from muted actors and blocked instances.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Bad people creativity always gets me off-guard. Upgrade your snac to this version ASAP, or revert to 2.85.
There will be another release pretty soon with a better solution to delete offending EmojiReacts.
Also, thanks to lxo, violette, fruye and to anyone else who may have helped contributed to this release!
I've submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.86 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/30669
Currently one of three Continuous Integration checks passed (which is a good sign the other two will probably pass soon too).
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
