taquiones.net 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.
The best way to include links with unusual characters in #snac is to use the Markdown syntax for links, like in East of Eden.
That is, an open square bracket, then the alt text, then the open bracket, then the url, then the close bracket (see snac(5) for more info).
I do host my own single user #snac server and want to keep it that way. I do have more than one account, but since I am by myself - my local timeline is useless. If I only could have geographically close messages in there!
This feature belongs into #ActivityPub and not in one implementation of it!
Also pinging @grunfink@comam.es - maybe you're insterested
If you have a snac follower, and they like your posts, take a moment to appreciate them.
Because it's technically impossible to set up a Fediverse server with absolutely no AI code underneath whatsoeverWell, that's not totally exact. I'm the main developer of the #snac ActivityPub server (and web client) and I'm actively against any AI or LLM. This is a line in the CONTRIBUTING.md file:
PRs, diff patches and bug reports must not incorporate any material generated by or with the assistance of any so-called "generative AI" tool or LLM.I've never used a so-called AI in my life and will never do.
If I recall correctly, the Gotosocial Fediverse software also have a very clear position in this topic (i.e. no AI).
You're very right in the OS positions regarding LLMs, sadly. The nearest to what I approve is NetBSD, but it's not totally clean.
just append the url with ?terse=true
behold and compare the results!

Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.
I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.
The Fediverse, as the Fediverse should be.
Fixed a bug in the notification page that made snac hang forever while trying to read abnormally big files.
Improved support for text-only web browsers: it's now possible to configure a set of web browser user-agent strings that will receive simpler HTML in the private timeline web UI. Basically, it consists in avoiding details / summary HTML tags as much as possible.
Added some fixes to media proxy code.
Fixed EmojiReact code to allow any emoticon defined in emojis.json, not only those with colon-wrapped identifiers.
Fixed a bug in notification filtering (paging was sometimes incorrect).
Added a notification filter for Webmentions.
Mastodon API: Don't return reactions count as string (contributed by mkljczk), implemented GET /v1/media (contributed by clairemont).
Fixed bug in documentation examples (contributed by Sprite_tm).
Updated Ukrainian and Russian translations (contributed by wincentbalin and koru).
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
notify directory of your user (they are a bunch of .json files).Whenever I finally understand what is making snac fail, I'll publish a version that mitigates this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
https://cum.salon/users/perniaCan some kind person please reply to this test post so I can see if my #snac notifications issue is totally resolved? ❤️
find /home/snac/data/user/justine/notify -type f -newermt "2026-09-01" -delete
Hopefully I can click on the new notifications that come in now ?

Mastodon is great. But littleFedi, snac, GoToSocial, Mitra, Akkoma, etc. - they all share a mission: make sure people will be able to self host their instances without investing a huge sum.
#Fediverse #Mastodon #littleFedi #snac #GoToSocial #Mitra #Akkoma
@grunfink @nina_kali_nina FediMeteo does, thanks to #snac!
Que, oye, programas como #snac (el más mejor servidor activitypub del mundo) te devuelven la esperanza en software bien hecho, que no es algo pasado de moda, que en este caso si quieres puedes.
Does your home page work in Dillo, Links, Netsurf?Even more: #snac, an ActivityPub server I develop, works totally well with these browsers.
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)
@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?

Three hours to live #discussion with #FSF #gopher @bandali on #lispyGopherClimate !
0UTC Wednesday (Tuesday night in the Americas)
I am not accepting to treat bandali as a stallman effigy.
We *will* talk about human #emacs (anti #ai faction).
We are promoting awareness of bandali's new personal #snac #fedi instance (thanks @grunfink ), if you could follow / boost to that avail.
Bandali publishes these, amoung things:

@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.
Ok, I'm testing something cool.
A blend of #snac, #Mastodon, #honk, #GoToSocial...and more.
This is running on a Raspberry PI Zero W, powered by NetBSD. The same that is powering my own smart thermostat. And it's quick.
I'll use this account and try to "stress" it.
Own your data. Always own your data!
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.93 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/33311
GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed OK!
It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.
Thanks to violette, hanchan, inz, lainsoykaf, nullenvk, e0w0e, dragondaddy, daltux, zen and anyone else I may have missed for also contributing to the improvements in this release!

Added a new admirations entry point to the web UI, containing a timeline of liked, boosted and reacted posts. Please take note that, after installing the new version, it will start empty, and be filled with subsequent reactions (contributed by violette).
It's now possible to disable showing posts in a given set of languages.
Nested quoted posts are limited up to 3 levels.
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replies_posts to true in server.json, remote posts that a local user has replied to are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
New configuration knob: by setting keep_replied_me to true in server.json, remote replies to local posts are retained in the public timeline, preventing them from being purged (contributed by hanchan).
Ensure actors' public key PEM never includes anything after the end marker.
Fixed some memory leaks (contributed by inz).
Several additional keyId checks (many thanks to lainsoykaf for bringing this to my attention).
Fixed crash in the JSON parser (many thanks to nullenvk for bringing this to my attention).
Mastodon API: fixed lost custom emojis after edition (contributed by e0w0e).
Updated French, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish translations (contributed by dragondaddy, daltux, zen).

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)
