snac2

The Tuba client for Linux does very well with #snac2

Do we still have to call them "toot" even if we are using #Snac2 instead of #Mastodon?

I'd say: no ..

I've just updated my #Snac instance to stable version 2.89 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
From release notes: "New command-line option 'refresh', to refresh all follower." Do you feel refreshed my friends? 😉

I will need to get some CSS (download or create it myself) for my user pages that isn't a total mess. Everthing you need for _doing the fedithing_ is there in #snac2, but with tiny hardly recognizable links and tiny form fields. #snac

I've just updated my #Snac instance to stable version 2.88 👍 🎉

#snac2 2.84 with visibility scopes has been released!!

there’s also this thing that narrowly missed a release window if anyone wants an option to change it in reply -
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/pulls/493

tested on my instance and should be generally working

Interesting facts of nature:

Did you ever know that you can store 4 #snac2 releases in a 3.5 inches floppy disk?

That's pretty cool ...

Ich liebe es, dass snac2 jetzt auch reactions kann.
Die habe ich mir schon lange gewünscht für eine kurze aber differenziere Rückmeldung zu etwas das ich gesehen habe.
Nur schade das Mastodon das nicht sehen kann, deren Nutzer sind die deutliche Mehrheit in meiner Bubble.

Checking on markdown in the Tusky client on #snac2

Is anyone else using #snac / #snac2 seeing 401s when trying to follow #gotosocial accounts, or is it my own configuration?

First I thought it was some rejection of my instance since I changed server, but since I've noticed it happens even with instances I hadn't seen before.

Update: all the FediMeteo instances have been upgraded to #snac 2.90

Sorry to keep saying this, but #snac2 is pretty awesome. Thanks to @stefano (aka @stesnac) for this instance, and thanks to all the BSD users who have been posting about it over the past many months.

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.
