I've just updated my instance to stable version 2.94 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
Lots of useful changes and fixes, woohoo! 🎉

      I suppose that’s good enough. I’ve achieved my goal and managed to save my Mastodon followers, bookmarks and even my post history and media well and far before toot.community shut down. Now I’ve even tweaked the styling of my personal instance (https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2) to my liking. So I’ll see what my next will be during this .

        Sat down to play some games and record gameplay for my YouTube channel, but got happily distracted by all the wonderful discussions on the Fediverse about books, watches, movies, privacy and games. The Fediverse is awesome and it's because of all you awesome folks on the Fediverse! Thanks y'all.

          snac2 + phanpy is an awesome combination! works perfectly with and phanpy can even be used as a PWA on iOS. Nice!

          If you want to give phanpy a try, I run an instance of it here.

            I low-key feel like a operator, when I'm using this server and chatting with people who-knows-where. So cool.

              I love that the 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.

                      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.

                            @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).

                                    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

                                      It depends on what you mean by 'best'.

                                      I find 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.
