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.

There are nice things in this "timeline", so let's find opportunities to be grateful!
I love that the #snac2 server surfaces if someone has blocked me. I get a nice notification that I was blocked every so often -- but there is one person that I am well aware of whenever they change instances (and they do it often enough that I notice) who blocks me each time.
I might not be famous, but I guess I'm infamous! Whee!
Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.
Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.
I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.
can anyone comment on how good, or not good, search (for posts) is between self-hosted fedi platform apps good for single-user servers, such as #Snac2, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Bonfire, etc?
I am looking for search which is actually usable by someone who wishes to find things and perhaps sort what's found, unlike that provided by e.g. Mastodon, Akkoma, etc.

Edit: did I mention I always build from latest commit but never caught any bug :)
snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.
Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).
I'm running snac/2.92-dev.
I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?
I found this comment in activitypub.c while reading some of the snac2 source code :
/* unify the garbage fire that are the attachments */
Involuntary chortle activated. It is a good read so far.
'sloccount' says snac2 is valuable:
Total Estimated Cost to Develop = $ 740,878
I find #snac2 better than gotosocial. I was able to have snac2 up and running faster than it took to even peruse the gotosocial docs.
Also, snac2 is in the Debian repositories so installing on Linux is as simple as one command.
I notice that the /people/ section of snac gives broken links to follower and followee profiles.
For instance entries for mastodon users are like this:
https://mastodon.social/ap/users/253190229248136435
Which appears to be an API endpoint rather than a web link. Links like this lead to a not found page.
My instance runs on #snac2. I like it.
