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.

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.
