microhive.social 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.

Site description
As you have probably already guessed: this is just another personal fediverse instance.

Hey @MonaApp - I really love the app, been using it since launch. Ever considered having an option for full width text and images vs. having the empty space?

          Mastodon's latest version has the ability to fetch missing replies from a conversation (under an experimental flag, not enabled by default).

          This is a big deal, especially for smaller instances. Mastodon joins other platforms - of which I know of: Streams, GoToSocial, IceShrimp.NET and Bonfire - that pull back replies on request.

          The hard work on the backend is done, and now there needs to be a discussion about how this interaction works as part of the user experience.

            Mastodon ist jetzt offiziell „Digital Public Good“ – also digitales öffentliches Gut – und steht damit auf einer UN-Liste neben Projekten wie Wikipedia oder LibreOffice. Das Fediverse bekommt damit Rückenwind als gemeinwohlorientierte Alternative zu Big Tech. Anerkannt wurde Mastodon von der Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA), einer Initiative der UN. Die Kriterien: Open Source, Datenschutz, kein Konzerninteresse. Für alle, die digital unabhängig und demokratisch kommunizieren wollen, ist das ein starkes Signal.

              @Mike Macgirvin ?️ @Marcus Rohrmoser 🌻 It'd certainly be a lot more beneficial if it was possible to pressure Mastodon into standards compliance.

              But as things are right now, Mastodon and its religiously faithful followers can and do declare Mastodon and the way things are done on and by Mastodon the one and only valid standard. They even declare anything that works differently from Mastodon broken. And they can easily get away with it.

              In fact, if certain Fediverse server applications preferred compliance with actual standards to compatibility with Mastodon, it's them who'd be on the losing side whereas Mastodon, where probably over 99% of all content are from within Mastodon itself, won't lose anything. Not unless all those that are perceived as add-ons to Mastodon (Pixelfed, PeerTube, Ghost, Flipboard etc.) follow suit.

              But seriously, even if Flipboard changed its ways and went for actual standards compliance even if that meant breaking compatibility with Mastodon, then Mastodon wouldn't be convinced that following standards rather than forcing its own "standards" upon everyone is the better way to go. Rather, Flipboard and Mastodon would accuse each other of being broken by design.

                                                      But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of [1] / - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.

                                                      is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be , etc!

                                                      And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on , my howto [3] might help you out.

                                                        Mastodon continues their iconic streak of fediverse innovation with their fediscovery project.

                                                        I look forward to working with @Mastodon to bring better discovery and search to Pixelfed and Loops.

                                                        This is the magic of the fediverse, no amount of VC funding could compete.
