I've just updated my instance to version 2.83 👍 🎉
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.

    I've just published version 2.83 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

    After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.

    Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.

    Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.

    Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).

    Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).

    Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).

    Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).

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

      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.

          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.

            I've just published version version 2.80 of , the simple, minimalistic 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.

              I've just published version 2.79 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

              Added a server-wide Webmention hook; this way, if somebody out there (that supports Webmention) links to a user or post in this instance, a notification is sent (this is the complementary of what was implemented in version 2.76).

              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.
