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.
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.

Herzlich willkommen bei #Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse 👍 🙂
In algorithmic, centralised "social" networks, provocative and fringe posts get "reach". In the #Fediverse it's simple common sense that makes you a valued guest on many timelines. Being an influencer here is very different from being an influencer elsewhere. Deal with it :)
The #Fediverse is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but #federation can become challenging.
With #Relay instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like #snac #snac2 #Mastodon #Pleroma etc.

Am Montag den 7. April 2025 treffen wir uns zum nächsten monatlichen Fediverse-Stammtisch auf der @cbase
Es ist ein munteres Zusammenkommen von Fedizen unabhängig vom der Fediverse Plattform die verwendet wird.
Wir treffen uns um 19 Uhr auf der c-base - Rungestrasse 20 10179 Berlin.
Das ist der perfekte Zeitpunkt, um Menschen aus dem Fediverse aus Berlin kennen zu lernen und uns über dieses dezentrale Soziale Netzwerk auszutauschen .

Snac2 is a simple database-less/javascript-free alternative to Mastodon:

It looks very nice to run your own #fediverse server
There are some screenshots here:

Is anybody using it?

Seems this solves the 499 ngnix issue.
A bit caching if big payloads.
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.

Welcome to #Mastodon/the #Fediverse 👍🙂
✨ Curated Onboarding
The ideal solution for communities seeking a balance between open registration and invite-only membership.
Soon admins can opt for this feature when you desire thoughtful user inclusion, handpicked by your dedicated admins for your community that truly reflects shared values and vision.
Available later this week! 🚀
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">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.
CacheEnable disk
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"
</LocationMatch>
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 expires
header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )

We're still $76k away from our stretch goal to establish a non-profit.
We're already working on it, and can't wait to build a sustainable, long term home for our ecosystem of projects!
That being said, if you could help us reach $200k, we can hire more team members.
Please spread the word, we need ethical and safe alternative platforms more than ever!
Where are the links to #Loops -videos here (#Mastodon, other #fediverse)? Saw a linked #kitten video today. Kay... BUT WE NEED MOAR!!!
Is there any #fediverse apps that let you bookmark posts into folders or categories? This is something that I see a lot of people using on Instagram that is incredibly useful. Could totally be done entirely client side too if someone wanted to implement it. #fedidev
Thanks to all of the people working to make the Fediverse such a nice and diverse place!

"pixelfed is doomed because of the network effect"
"nobody will ever use this"
"he thinks he can take on Instagram"
You have to be crazy to think you can compete with Instagram, even crazier to work on it for 7 years, just waiting for that moment
The moment when people see the value in what you've been building for so long
Never let them win, keep building. If nobody thinks they can compete with IG, nobody will
It only takes one crazy dreamer, and people like you
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27628
1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks has passed (which is a good sign the other two will pass as well).
I'm still avoiding commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.
Thanks to you, inz, lxo and anyone else I may have missed for the continued iterated improvements!

Stories are coming to our Pixelfed app, and they are AMAZING!
Not everyone likes them, and they can hide them if they prefer.
But for the rest of us, you will get all the familiar features like Story Reactions, Comments and even who viewed your story/view counts.
We're not only building Pixelfed, but also Loops, a TikTok alternative!
We need your support now more than ever, please spread the word about our Kickstarter!
The future is federated, and belongs to the people.
Boost if you agree ✨
