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.

While others build walled gardens, we're preparing to tear down walls.

As TikTok creates separate US and global apps, we're putting the finishing touches on ActivityPub integration in Loops.

Soon you'll share your loops across the entire fediverse - no borders, no corporate silos.

The future is federated. 🌐

      Revolutionary idea: What if social media platforms actually let you control your data?

      @loops does, with full data exports, retention controls & opt-in analytics.

      The future of social is open-source ❤️

      (and federated 🚀)

        I've just published version 2.82 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

        The language in which a post is written can now be set from the UI; you must configure the list of languages you usually post in in the User Settings.

        Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).

        Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

        Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).

        Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.

        Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.

        Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).

        Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).

        Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

              I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.81 of , the simple, minimalistic 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.

                  We've added some pretty innovative features, like Pages that allow you to add/edit/publish rich pages and optionally add them to the main sidebar nav or footer and limit visibility to guests, users or both.

                        Fixed regression while sending email via pipe on OpenBSD.

                        Fixed Markdown parsing when the URL has parenthesis.

                        Always show the 'pending follow confirmations' section if there are any (even if the toggle is off).

                        If a metadata value is an account handler, it's also tried to be validated (rel="me" links).

                        Another search by URL tweak (this time for Pixelfed links).

                        Mastodon API: fixed a bug that made some boosts disappear after being shown in apps like Tusky, added followed hashtags maintenance, other minor changes.

                        Renamed command-line actions create_list to list_create and delete_list to list_remove.

                        The default favicon URL can be changed from the server configuration.

                        New command-line option export_posts, to export all posts by a user in a JSON format compatible with the one generated by Mastodon.

                        The command-line options to send notes also allow an optional -r argument, to set the URL of a Fediverse post this note is a reply to.

                            Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.
