soc.octade.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.

Haven't tested it myself (I have no Apple hardware), but Mastoblaster (@mastoblaster@mastoblaster.app) not only works, but has as a first citizen target.

    So far @MonaApp@mastodon.social seems to be the ticket on iOS +

    Anyone have any other recommendations to try? https://snac.amd.im/amd/p/1781807020.988120

      I've been trying this mini snac instance for a while now, and perhaps someone with more knowledge can enlighten me about a couple of things:
      For example, I'm still not sure when or why replies or the parent-post of a reply show up. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't.

      If I'm following a person, their post will show up for sure, but sometimes not the post it's replying to. In this case I can still follow a link back to the original instance. (Which is a way of "getting around" in and of itself.)

      I think part of this might be because snac is conservative in terms of caching, whereas Mastodon is apparently very aggressive about it. So while snac is very lightweight (which is its main point) on Mastodon it would feel less insular. Hashtags on a semi-large Mastodon instance can be used to see a lot of posts from people you don't follow, but on this snac instance it's almost pointless to filter by hashtag.
      Conversely, I have no idea who might be able to see this post here, just because they follow the Fediverse hashtag or so...?

      I assume one way to get more input might be to follow more people. But then the feed would be way too busy. So perhaps an alternative would be to create a separate account on the same instance that follows a ton of people, which would cause the snac server to retrieve their posts (or know about the server?), and then I guess that should improve things somewhat even on this account, making hashtags more usable and seeing more replies or reply parent-posts.

      As I said, I'd love if anyone with more knowledge about the Fediverse or Activity Pub etc. could enlighten me a bit.

        @rl_dane@polymaths.social "Webmentions"? Huh. I got a weird snac notification that used that word, when I posted linking to another one of my posts.
        I just figured that was how handled quote posts.

          It's been four months since I brought up We're Dreaming using and I'm really liking how well the instance has been running. Maintenance has been easy. I started on 2.90-dev and have gone through three upgrades which were all boring (aka easy).

          snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.

          Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).

            At times there have been over a half million message objects in my snac profile directory. Snac has always handled it like a champ.

              " does not store nor cache media from other instances."
              Thank goodness. I tried running other fediverse servers and with just one account I was getting gigs of cache. Snac shines here.

                Fixed user matching (contributed by rakoo).

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