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.

      I don't want to duplicate efforts with other Starter Pack/Starter Kit projects, so if you are building one for the fediverse, we should chat!

      I'd love more help, and plan to release the source code under the established Pixelfed banner!

        ActivityPub Starter Kits update:

        I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!

        ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.

          I should probably get in touch with the developers

          It would be cool to support following PeerTube accounts in Loops and seeing their videos in your Following feed.

            I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.63 here:

            https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26605

            GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are running (2 of 3 have passed already which is a good sign).

            It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

            Thank you again for your continued improvements (and also, thanks for not releasing on a Friday! The slacker in me is still 8 hours behind up stream, maybe I can blame time zones? ;)

              I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.63 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

              The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.

              The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.

              Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.

              Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.

              Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.

              Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).

              RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.

                  for activitypub to succeed, it needs platforms that non-nerds would use

                  nobody cares about the backend lang lol, focus on what matters

                  it's all about photo and video 😎

                    I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.62 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                    Added a new user option to collapse top level threads by default.

                    Added a new disable_block_notifications boolean field to server.json to disable the notifications of Block activities.

                    Added a new strict_public_timelines boolean field to server.json to only show an account's posts and boosts (no trees) in public timelines.

                    Fixed repeated images in posts from some implementations (those that include an image both as an attachment and as an <img> tag inside the post content).

                    Added a small HTML/CSS tweak to improve post previews from some implementations (contributed by nyanide).

                    Notifications for EmojiReact activities now show the emoji.

                    New command-line action insert, to insert a post by its URL in a user's timeline.

                    Fixed bad processing/rendering of URLs with two or more @ symbols.

                      Could this happen anywhere else?

                      Two social media competitors collaborating, to this degree?

                      ActivityPub isn't just different, it's the future.

                      The future where people are prioritized, not profited from.

                        I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.61 here:

                        https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26287

                        GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are progressing (3 out of 4 passed, which is a good sign; I guess MacPorts recently started checking 4 OS versions on GitHub automatically instead of 3 so this is taking a bit longer than I am accustomed to, it seems as if the macos-15 checks in particular are sluggish, maybe that system is overloaded?).

                        Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

                        Neat to see more Mastodon migration improvements! I think I saw one person already boast of successes of migrating their followers to a snac instance!

                        Thank you for your hard work and continuing to make my favorite ActivityPub implementation even better!

                          Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.

                          Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).

                          Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.

                          Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.
