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.

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

    The last release fixes a problem with the Mastodon API. Now, apps (or webapps like Phanpy) properly work as the "inifite scrolling" has been fixed.
    Thanks, @grunfink - this was one thing that kept some of my friends away from self-hosting with snac, and now I can help them to have their own digital home.

        @Sarahp oh please can we get a self-hosted replacement? I love it's almost there, but currently does full pages only, not images.

        We really need a non-corporate application .. I'm not a developer, but could it be that complicated to modify existing projects ?

        There is but there don't seem to be working public instances or mobile apps

                A reasonable ActivityPub / ActivityStreams API to schedule something to be posted in the future might be — to HTTP POST something to an account's outbox with the `published` field set to a date-time in the future.

                          This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.

                          (Longer than Threads has existed.)

                          Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.

                            I've performed some tests, and it's great. and are working great together - now with caching of media and json responses, to scale up, and up, and up...and up!
                            is the best tool for caching, but the setup I've tested doesn't require it and it's still good enough.
                            I think this will be a blog post, as soon as I'll have enough time.

                                  Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media

                                  I already wrote about caching here
                                  Now I extended what I cache a bit.
                                  This was because after enabling Option to proxy media I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).
                                  There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodonapi or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs 🙂 (I guess it is actaully irrelevant for the system resources).
                                  This is the updated setup:
                                  Enable the relevant modules:

                                  a2enmod expires cache cache_disk

                                  Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
                                  Then add to the snac Virtualhost config:

                                  <LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0">
                                  CacheEnable disk
                                  Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"
                                  ExpiresActive On
                                  ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"
                                  </LocationMatch>
                                  This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the /s/, /x/ and /y/ Path, as well as for /$username/nodeinfo20, utilizing the mod_expires to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me), In this case caching it for 1 day.
                                  Further reading and all options explained under https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html (and ff)

                                  The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac defaults to set no-cache on that location and the modexpires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as modexpores woud. (mod_expires will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expiresheader. (hence the name I guess 😀 )
