#CrazyFediverseAnalogies

Have a look at #GotoSocial, or #snac or even #LittleFedi - all perfectly hostable even from Raspberry Pis. And if you are only interested in hosting one to a handful accounts you won't miss anything from Mastodon. Although GotoSocial can also hosts 1000s of users (the other two mentioned, less so)

I kept fat-thumbing when trying to open content warning'd/hidden posts on me phone...but I realised I can just edit the style.css to add a bigger margin. I should probably check out some of the proper stylesheets people have made (but there is something very rad about the default theme)

@the_coffee_lover yes! I
set up a #snac instance just a few weeks ago.

It’s been purring along nicely, without ever giving me any trouble.

I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!

With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!

There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.

Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.

This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.

Thanks, @grunfink !

Somehow my main instance, which is a large Mastodon server operated by professionals, is significantly slower than my little single-user #snac instance running on the Raspi Zero in my shelf.

I may change it to return the correct code eventually, but I don't consider it a priority.

The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense.

Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers.

Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that.

If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] functioning), it's unmarked as such.

Don't try (and fail) to parse non-UTC dates in posts (I'll provide a real fix eventually).

Fixed a redirection loop in the /users alias.

Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made changing the sensitive content string impossible, avatars and headers can be deleted (contributed by bm90).

Updated Czech and Italian translations (contributed by pmjv and fidiben).

@jspath55 @stefano Nice! Perhaps I’ll do something similar with my single core RISC-V email server. A gig of RAM is extreme overkill for an email server.

Curious - what’re the advantages and disadvantages of LittleFedi compared with, say, #snac?

Thinking about a new domain+project...

Anyone have the TL;DR; on self hosted fediverse software?

Mastodon vs Snac vs Pleroma vs ?

I'm looking for something that is super low maintenance and lightweight / easy on resources but as full featured as practical within those constraints.

Something easy to tune re: post lengths and media types would be cool too. A "text first" platform is desired.

I've run Mastodon in the past and it's like fishing with nukes for this use case.

What's out there?

Interesting: #Phanpy works wonderfully as a client for #snac.

Except that for some reason, in Notifications view, it shows the “New notifications” overlay when there actually aren’t any new notifications 🤔

The former cluster member, now the only one serving my website, is with that power consumption now an ideal replacement. The wyse 3040 power consumption was around the same. with turbo boost enabled, the n4100 consumes up to 10W in total, and 5-6W in idle.
Running off grid from my solar system battery, every watt counts. So i am really happy to have this machine now at such a low power consumption.
I guess I will migrate the old #snac instance there, the old P II was too loud to let it run 😅

@scips@mastodon.social nice! This isn't ready for release, yet, but you can surely try with #snac

It’s not Tuesday yet, but it will be soon.
And I want to thank @grunfink for creating and maintaining snac. Tomorrow I’ll talk about FediMeteo at DevConf, and it would never have come to be if it weren’t for snac and for the help the author gave me in fixing some things to optimize its use.

True Open Source, made with passion, by people who do things for the love of the things themselves.
