The gory details: Mastodon-API-compatible ids are simulated in #snac by concatenating the object creation time (ctime) and the md5 of the real post id (see the function mastoapi_id() in mastoapi.c for more details).

Hope it helps.

Quote-posting your own posts is now allowed (do it by adding RE: https://example.com/you/post-id in its own line in a post body).

The Mastodon API can now be disabled by setting the mastodon_api directive to false in server.json (no need to compile it out).

Fixed a crash in chunked transfer encoding code (special thanks to Sergey Bronnikov for bringing this to my attention).

Tweak to JSON loading code to circunvent fmemopen() issues on Illumos / OpenIndiana systems (contributed by aleteoryx).

Accounts can be marked as cool; anytime a cool account posts something, a notification will be sent.

Fixed an issue in Direct Messages sent from the people page; these posts didn't explicitly mention the recipient, and that confused some implementations.

Fixed crash when sending an empty EmojiReact.

HTTP requests can now be forced to use IPv6 by setting the force_ipv6_requests configuration directive to true in server.json.

Fixed a socket buffering issue under OpenIndiana (contributed by aleteoryx).

Mastodon API: Added missing requested_by field in the relationships entrypoint (contributed by Uilebheist), implemented the followers entrypoint (contributed by Uilebheist), use Mastodon's RFC3339 format for markers (contributed by nowster), fixed posts with muted words not being filtered out, fixed editing of media alt texts.

Tweaked HTML to avoid elinks complaining about a missing '#top' fragment.

Fixed a bug that made deleting the notification email address impossible.

RSS timelines are now cached because fuckers hammer for them continuously (probably AI crap bots).

Added information to README.md on how to build and install on Illumos / OpenIndiana Hipster 2026.04 (contributed by aleteoryx).

Updated Russian, Brazilian Portuguese and Czech translations (contributed by koru, daltux, pmjv).

At first after using snac (coming from mastodon for example),
you feel like the UI is too minimal. Then you realize it's not
minimal at all, it's just getting out of your way.

You focus on the messages and not on the interface.

@nowster That's a #snac bug. The marker should be returned as a Datetime, documented here: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/datetime-format/#datetime. Based on the error message it looks like it's returning $milliseconds.$nanoseconds since the epoch.

I've reported this as https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/issues/659.

Y si iba a ser residencia de antiguos presidentes de la CAM, ¿dónde meteríamos al o a los siguientes? ¿Más millones de euros en áticos chulos y céntricos?

(Supongo que os habréis dado cuenta de lo bien que funciona #snac, el más mejor servidor #ActivityPub del mundo, y del que estreno nueva versión).

just append the url with ?terse=true

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.
