A new week has begun, and 2025 is getting closer to its end. The question we should all ask ourselves is this: what have we done, and what can we do, to make the Fediverse a better place?

The Fediverse is for everyone. The Fediverse belongs to everyone. We should not wait for someone else to do something. We can start ourselves.

- Follow people who post content that interests you. You do not always have to agree. Constructive disagreement helps us grow.

- Always remain respectful and civil. This is what can make the difference between the Fediverse and social platforms that profit from anger. Let us make it a place we want to go, not a place we feel forced to go just to prove someone wrong.

- Make it a better place for yourself. Our timelines are exactly what we choose them to be. This takes a bit more effort, but the result will be far more satisfying.

- Help administrators identify problems. Pointless criticism is useless. Doing your part, on the other hand, is priceless.

- Boost what you believe is worth boosting. That is how things spread. If quote posts are available, explain why you shared something. You can also share content you disagree with, if you think it may be interesting for the people who follow you.

- Do not approach people coming from other platforms with closure or arrogance. It takes time to understand and adapt. Acting like schoolteachers helps no one.

- The Fediverse belongs to everyone, therefore it belongs to no one. If you run your own personal instance, that is your kingdom, but you could be defederated by everyone and end up alone. If that is your goal, fine. Otherwise, remember that federation is, at the same time, an honor, a responsibility, and a privilege.

- Have fun. Grow. Live. The Fediverse is an extension of your life.

If you have questions, ask. You will find many people who will be more than happy to answer.

And to you, who are reading this, thank you for being here.

@mattesilver #snac is pretty tiny but I have not used it myself.

I also noticed that all the admin tabs at the top of the snac admin page are all open taking up screen real estate.
I'm not complaining merely poiting out some of my findings and there is probably good reason that I don't know about why these work they way they do.

Well, ok. It looks like a phone app, has no title bar, and the scrollbars are typical horrible phone-style scrollbars, but it works.

#Tokodon just gave me a server error trying to authenticate to snac. :/

This is not the manual; man pages snac(1) (user manual), snac(5) (formats) and snac(8) (administrator manual) are what you are looking for.

THIS
IS
THE
WAY
!!!

#ThisIsTheWay #SomeoneGetsIt #Documentation #snac

#snac itself is remarkably chill and old-fashioned. :D

I had no idea that #snac has stopped working with Lemmy and NodeBB groups. I'll take a look at it.

The issue below was caused because this idiot aka me forgot to rebuild snac under FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE so the compatibility package is not required.

WOW ! The only jail I had a problem with was my #snac jail. It refused to run up quoting this error ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.30" not found, required by "snac"
I found a fix which is you have to install compat14x-amd compatibility files so stuff that relies on older libs can still run.
#FreeBSD

#Pixelfed, #Pleroma, #Snac and all the others .. can I please have a "local users only" visibility mode for posts? For server announcements and such?

Or does that already exist, and I'm just blind or st00pid or both?

I think it makes sense for Pixelfed to only display images, but I do think it should be a (per-account-followed) setting and also mentioned in the onboarding that the user is only getting photo posts, rather than the entire "picture" of the fediverse, if you'll forgive the awkward diction/pun.

As someone who uses #Pixelfed, #Mastodon, #GoToSocial, and #snac, I appreciate the slightly different takes on the fediverse that these different applications provide.

Quoted posts are now shown.

Added metadata to remote users in the people page (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed memory leak (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed user matching (contributed by rakoo).

Rendering visibility conditionally, with lesser reach if needed (contributed by byte).

Added a button next to a follow notification to follow back.

Fixed typo in man page (contributed by spky).

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

Also how would Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.

I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are would you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.

Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD

@passthejoe

Another super minimalistic one to check out if #snac doesn't work out for you is the wonderfully-named #honk ;)

It's from the (in)famous #OpenBSD dev, #tedu. ;)

@passthejoe

There's always #GoToSocial and #snac ;)

You make it possible. Thank you so much.

I’m afraid that my head has decided that at one point, when the madness subsides a bit, I’m going to install #snac on a VPS.

And thanks to byte, @stefano@bsd.cafe, andypiper, pmjv, daltux, r-ricci and any others I may have missed for their contributions to this release as well!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.84 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/29810

1 out of 3 of GitHub's Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign the other two will pass as well.

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
