Updated here, thanks! Obrigado!

By the way, my #snac instance now runs on #DockerSwarm along with #Traefik, the reverse proxy which I've used since the start of this server. If you think it could be helpful, I’d be happy to submit a pull request with an example file like examples/docker-swarm_stack_traefik.yml.

I’ve also pushed the container image I built to Codeberg. Additionally, I could share a script that automates this setup.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.81 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

If the propagate_local_purge configuration variable is set to true in server.json, purged local posts generate a Delete activity that is sent everywhere, instead of only deleted from the filesystem.

Included a small tweak to avoid being confused by implementations that return valid webfinger queries for non-account URLs (like i.e. the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin in some configurations). This helps in searching by URL.

Added Ukrainian translation (contributed by wincentbalin).

New command-line option muted, to list all MUTEd actors.

Mastodon API: Fixed metadata and follower approval flag when editing the account.

Or.. If possible, to ignore that option and error on it, so that people neither post unwanted public or private messages?
I don't know the technical side of it, if that can work elegantly...

Yes, snac has only the concept of private message ( to mentioned only) or globally readable. Nothing fancy else.

#snac

Hi, Justine and Sandro. No, the original posts are not imported. This could be a complicated process, as the DNS domain is an integral part of each post identifier; there is no good solution for this. This is not (only) a #snac limitation, but the way ActivityPub is defined.

CC: @strk@floss.social

You can't just change the domain part, as it's an integral part of all ActivityPub object identifiers. Your followers, for example, expect posts from you from the domain they initially followed, and will reject everything if it's changed. This is not a #snac limitation, it's just the way ActivityPub is.

If you want to change the domain, you must move all your accounts from the old server to the new one, while both instances are operative.

Not very cumbersome, see this

and this

If you want to move from one #snac to another, it's mostly the same.

Hi, #snac author here. Some explanations:

MUTE: silences an author forever. You'll never read anything from this poster anymore. Like block in Mastodon and other implementations, but without sending a Block activity.

Hide: hides a post and everything hyerarchically below (i.e. the full tree). The conversation won't be shown to you forever, and any incoming post in any of the levels will be dropped. No other part is informed about it, it's just a local operation.

Delete: deletes a post from your timeline. If it's part of a conversation, the branches below are left dangling, but are still shown in you timeline. Also, if you are the author of the post, a Delete activity is sent to everyone involved, so your post (hopefully) disappears everywhere.

Yeah. I can't see the difference between mute and delete for a post not written by me. It's gone either way isn't it?

The only difference is informing other parties about the delete if it was written by me, or am I overlooking something?

Edit: I asking because I'm thinking maybe one of the buttons could go away to make room, or change its behavior. Like "hide" could be instead "mute" to only not inform anymore on the conversation, but don't delete it (like mastodon does)
#snac #snac2

So a #snac question:
Does someone know the difference in "hide" and "delete" under a post?
What does this technically do, and how does it affect what I or others see from this post?
Is there a different behavior if it's my own post or something in my timeline?

It seems both options delete the post from my view. I only don't know whats the difference beside that.

Hi. #snac does not provide such a reply link from the public timeline at this moment. I don't know a way to provide this, sorry.

There is no "this is a DM" special mark in an ActivityPub Note object that I know of. If a post does not include the magic "for everyone" target address, an implementation should assume it's private and mark it as such. #snac shows this kind of messages with a small lock emoji next to the poster's name in the same timeline as public messages.

Sorry, I don't. I recall somebody told me that Mona works, but with some issues. Maybe others may tell about #iOS apps that work with #snac.

Hi, #snac author here. Apart from Tusky (already mentioned by Stefano), there are other Android apps that work acceptably with snac, like Fedilab, AndStatus, Pachli (previous versions used to hammer the server, but it seems that the latest version no longer does) and tooot (though, if I recall correctly, it's no longer maintained).

@santi@go.lema.org
No idea... Does this work? (fedilab)

Edit: apparently not

I've just published version version 2.80 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It only includes one bugfix; if you use the Mastodon API, you may be interested in upgrading:

Mastodon API: fixed a regression (introduced in previous version in the "boosts disappear in Tusky" fix) that interrupted timelines.

Hi. I have an ipv6 only #snac instance, and it's able to access your host with no hassle.
