En ese caso igual entonces creo que prefería montar una instancia chiquita tipo #snac o #goToSocial y en el móvil un cliente normal, no lo sé, lo tengo que pensar más pero se agradece que vayas compartiendo cómo te va
Thanks @mkljczk@fediverse.pl

CW: Spicy take about Mastodon (specifically)
If you really believe in the silly 250 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.
Fixed some local posts not being shown if the replied post is deleted.
Fixed web UI incorrect links to public posts for some configurations.
Fixed encoding bug in Mastodon-style share links.
Fixed an error that made imposible to leave empty the following hashtags or blocked hashtags from the web UI.
Include post attachments in the RSS feed entries.
Added some OpenBSD-specific documentation (contributed by oxzi).
Fixed some timezones (contributed by matoken).
Fixed some crashes (special thanks to Louis Merlin for helping me with this).
Updated Docker scripts to avoid generating a useless log file.
Fixed several memory leaks, key generation errors and HTML inconsistencies (contributed by dandelions).
Added ostatus.org and FEP-3b86 data to Webfinger objects.
Added a new CONTRIBUTING.md file. Among other guidelines, I explicitly say there that AI contributions are NOT accepted.
snac is now available as a Yunohost app. Thank you very much to Bruno Cesar Rocha for this.

@Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.
Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.
PRs must not incorporate any material generated by or with the assistance of any so-called "generative AI" tool or LLM.
Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).
I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.
summary and details tags (which #snac relies very much on), I would recommend it as the best web browser for a snac experience.CC: @gumnos@bsd.cafe

Hi. I think requesting Yunohost to include #snac as an option is the best way.
I wish there was more space between a CW and the buttons.
#snac por otra parte fue más simple y rápido, no tiene una gran estética pero siempre me ha funcionado bien
The difference from other Mastodon API clients is that this one has #snac as a first class citizen.
I'm so glad!
Attention #GoToSocial people: I have been testing @mastoblaster - an iOS Fediverse client - and it's working SO WELL! It's even grouping GtS notifications... something that Ivory doesn't do.
More info here:
Congratulations @stefano for your brilliant work on it!
#MastoBlaster has its own #Fediverse account - powered by #snac

Sin entrar en muchos detalles:
0. Elegir un nombre de dominio que os haga únicos: carnecruda.radio o carnecrudaradio.es o ... lo que sea.
1. Contrata un servidor en la red donde instalar el servidor ActivityPub (el protocolo base sobre el que funciona Mastodon); a vosotros os vendría muy bien tener otros servicios que funcionan como él porque no sois una mera red social. Asignáis el dominio al servidor y ...
2. Diseña cómo quieres la arquitectura: una cuenta única es buena sólo para primeros contactos o para anuncios. En vuestro caso una cuenta por cada uno de los que tenéis allí, que puedan expresarse sobre lo que sean y, dado que el límite de cuentas es muy lejano, una por cada sección o por cada invitado más o menos regular.
3. Migráis los seguidores y seguidos de la cuenta de ahora en mastodon.online @carnecrudaradio@mastodon.online a la cuenta base como @carnecruda@carnecruda.radio o cualquier cosa sencilla de recordar.
4. Comenzáis a publicar y a seguir (y tal vez a bloquear) a personas de otras servidores.
5. Y ya, lo demás es ponerse a construir una red y dejar que crezca y crezca y vaya por ahí haciendo cosas.
Sigue consultando porque aquí hay personal muy válido para estos detalles.
Y, ojo, esto sin saber si tenéis más contenido. Los podcasts, se me ocurre, pueden estar alojados en funkwhale, otro software libre y del fediverso con el que conectar. Hay muchas más opciones pero yo diría que lo principal es el dominio y luego el servidor. Y de ahí a las estrellas. 🙂
EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.
After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.
MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.
It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.
What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage
Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.
It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.
Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.
The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

Hi @grunfink,
where does one typically serve non-css assets for a #snac #theme?
https://comam.es/snac-doc/snac.8.html doesn't mention.
Minor tweak to improve signature key retrieving for some Wordpress configurations.
Fixed web UI incorrect links to actor public pages for some configurations.
Fixed mismatch in the accounts being followed number in the public and people pages.
Notifications can be filtered by category (contributed by byte).
Dates are shown adjusted to the account's time zone (contributed by dandelions).
Configurable limit for poll items (contributed by dandelions).
Fixed incorrect scope when editing a post (contributed by dandelions).
Change the strip_exif logic to work with the already existing OpenBSD sandbox (contributed by oxzi).
Mastodon API: Add poll creation (contributed by davidrv00), fixed a voting bug (contributed by davidrv00), added a fix to verify_credentials (contributed by ag-eitilt).
Updated Czech, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish translations (contributed by pmjv, zen, daltux).

Regarding an OpenBSD package, I'm sure it would be very easy to do. OpenBSD for me is first class, and #snac works great there.
Of course I'm using #snac on my blog posting bot. Still the best software to self host :)
Next up in a new #FediMerch store is #snac merchandise! I had to grab my own set of stickers for this one, the artwork is so cool!
You've got Susie, snac's default icon embedded in a QR code. And then this ridiculously amazing artwork from @prahou that is just a must have for your sticker collection - or on a shirt - or mug. Just get it!

The time is probably right.
Back in 2022, when I was still using iOS, I wasn’t completely happy with the Fediverse apps that were available. I was mostly using Akkoma, and the interface I liked the most was actually its web UI, even on mobile. So I started playing with Xcode and put together the foundations of an app tailored to my needs.
A lot has changed since then and today we have great alternatives like IceCubes, Mona, Ivory, etc. Each one has strengths and weaknesses though, so I picked up my old project again and kept pushing it forward.
So I’m happy to announce that my app will finally see the light: I’ve been using it for the past few days and, in my spare time, I’m fixing bugs and adding missing features. I’m building it around my own needs, so it doesn’t have to “appeal to everyone”. I wouldn’t call it opinionated, but it’s definitely targeted.
The app will have one key trait: #snac2 support will be a first-class feature, not an incidental one. Many apps, especially on iOS, support snac as a side effect, but the experience is often not optimal. In this case, the choice is deliberate and it strictly follows the Mastodon API support implemented by snac. So snac will work properly (within the limits of the platform, of course).
Among the features already implemented: the app is minimal and lightweight (under 10 MB, including debug code), easy on RAM, and privacy-first (for example it strips EXIF data from media before posting, so the server will never see it). On snac it also cleans up the "Boosted by Aoderelay" messages that appear when using a relay, removes the character limit, and supports posting in Markdown.
I also added support for Apple Intelligence to generate alt text, both for the media I post and for media posted by others that is missing alt text.
Everything is processed locally through Apple APIs and only on supported devices. The results aren't amazing, Apple Intelligence is extremely limited, but in my opinion it's the only privacy-friendly and ethical way to approach it. And of course, you can disable it.
On Mastodon it supports all the main features: lists, quote posts, granular notifications (you can choose what you want for each category), notification grouping, multi-account support, and it works.
It's still missing a few things (block, etc.) and has some bugs, which I’m spotting as I keep using it.
As soon as it's stable enough, I'll invite a few people to test it. I still haven't fully decided how I'll distribute it: an Apple Developer account has a yearly cost, and I hope to reuse it for other projects too. So this app might be paid, with a trial period, but if possible (I still need to check what’s feasible) I'd like it to be free if you connect to one of the BSD Cafe instances, illumos Cafe, or any snac instance, including your own.
I don't know how long it will take before it's ready... but I can already tell you what it will be called.
It already has a name, and it's... MastoBlaster.
This name was chosen for personal reasons, and also because of its similarity to Master Blaster by Stevie Wonder, which even today feels relevant and fitting for the Fediverse.
Stay tuned!

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.
Get snac'd up (not just) for #fossdem !
You can now purchase #snac propaganda stickers and apparel to show your allegiance or to wage war with.
Blessed be the hacker @grunfink for they can C.

Regarding the #snac users, I usually call them #snacizens.
Unfortunately, official Mastodon doesn't support it (yet) and I'd avoid using some forks (like glitch), at least for now.

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).
