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.
Pero es que es verdad!. #Mastodon andará muy lindo desde tal o cual aplicación en Android o iOS .. pero en cuanto abrís un perfil en el navegador del móvil: se arrastra!.
Es increíble la cantidad de porquería que tiene que cargar el navegador para poder acceder al contenido en ActivityPub mientras que #snac logra lo mismo con un uso mínimo de recursos! Sin cookies, sin JavaScript, sin estupideces .. solo una implementación sensata y buen código!
Gracias @grunfink@comam.es 🤗
Herzlich willkommen bei #Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse 👍 🙂
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.

3/3 of GitHub Continuous Integration checks completed successfully!
Thanks to you (and gnemmi, pmjv, daltux, inz, Popolon, sn4il, mistivia, zen, Menel, uhuru, anzu, violette, and rozenglass; hopefully I didn't miss anyone?) for the continued improvements!
As with previous PRs I have submitted, I am abstaining from commit access until I have less chaos in my life to be able to take on more responsibilities, so it's up to someone else to merge it.

Seems this solves the 499 ngnix issue.
A bit caching if big payloads.
I have it in my name field in #mastodon at nerdculture.de so it can definitely work in mastodon.if it is added at all. https://nerdculture.de/@menel
But it doesn't work with my current main profile with #snac but I love that I can add custom emojis there at all.

Welcome to #Mastodon/the #Fediverse 👍🙂
Where are the links to #Loops -videos here (#Mastodon, other #fediverse)? Saw a linked #kitten video today. Kay... BUT WE NEED MOAR!!!

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!

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 ✨

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!
In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

Nach den letzten ein, zwei Wochen bin ich gespannt, wie sich das Netzwerk hier entwickeln wird, wenn mehr "professionelle" Accounts von X, Insta und anderen Plattformen hier auftauchen (und bleiben). Anfangs sah ich das Fehlen solcher Accounts als einen Fehler des Fediverse und als echten Mangel, da man sich nicht mit den gewohnten Inhalten berieseln lassen konnte. Stattdessen gab und gibt es "hausgemachte" Inhalte wechselnder aber noch irgendwie vergleichbarer Qualität (Blogs, Fotos, Posts) von Leuten wie dir und mir.
Mittlerweile betrachte ich das "Mitmachnetzwerk" als großen Vorteil, weil man sich hier ließt und sieht, da die meisten Nutzer auf einer gleichen Augenhöhe sind - zumindest habe ich diesen Eindruck. Ich habe kein Interesse mehr an einem Netzwerk, das von einigen großen Accounts dominiert wird, wo man nicht mehr ist als "Like-Vieh". Hier gibt es zwar keine Algorithmen, aber wenn die Menschen anfangen, nur noch professionell erzeugte Inhalte großer Accounts zu verbreiten, wird sich das Netzwerk schnell in die gleiche Richtung entwickeln, wie wir es von X und Insta kennen.
Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!
But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.
#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!
And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

Mastodon continues their iconic streak of fediverse innovation with their fediscovery project.
I look forward to working with @Mastodon to bring better discovery and search to Pixelfed and Loops.
This is the magic of the fediverse, no amount of VC funding could compete.
Ich bin nun auch auf #Pixelfed:
Ihr könnt mir auf #Mastodon direkt folgen. Das ist das Schöne am #Fedivers.
Und vielleicht importiere ich auch meine Bilder aus #Instagram 🖼️
Herzlich willkommen bei #Mastodon bzw. im #Fediverse 👍👍👍
My #Mastodon experience is much better since I hit the bell icon on the accounts I really want to read across servers.
Mein Mastodon-Erlebnis ist tatsächlich sehr viel besser geworden, seitdem ich über die Glocke Benachrichtigungen für die Accounts aktiviert habe, die mir wichtig sind.
I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.68 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27332
GitHub Continuous Integration checks are running (two out of three completed successfully, which is a good sign, here's hoping the last one has no issues as well).

Two of three GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks passed, which is a good sign; hopefully the others will pass without issues.
As usual, it's up to others with commit access to merge it!
Thanks again for your and others' continued improvements to snac! Specifically I noticed shout outs to nowster and Shamar in the RELEASE_NOTES.md and I seem to recall watching the discourse about the PID locking suggested and discussed rather collaboratively too!
(My apologies for the delay. The Makefile was slightly modified, which in turn broke the $files/Makefile.patch applied by MacPorts so I needed to rework that which took me a bit longer than usual given other work obligations I have had today.
Though not a concern for upstream, for MacPorts users I also noticed the following warning when running % port test:
"Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
Warning: snac violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!
Warning: Please fix or indicate this misbehavior (if it is intended), it will be an error in future releases!"
Though, it appears as if the man pages are where I think they should be for MacPorts? I have never seen that Warning before, so my guess is something about MacPorts intended prescriptive behavior has been changed but I am not exactly certain what the expected behavior is supposed to be now? I will look into it further, but hopefully it isn't a concern for users at the moment; just thought I would mention it for the sake of being thorough!
However, it's entirely possible I messed something up too; so if others with greater wisdom than I see that Warning and know what to do to correct it, or if they encounter any other issues with MacPorts' snac, others are more than welcome to submit Pull Requests with improvements! Or feel free to open up an issue on MacPorts Trac instance at https://trac.macports.org and I'll look into it.)

Ich habe mir in meiner #Mastodon-#Pause eine #Kamera gekauft. (Übersprungshandlung würde wohl der kluge @tomatensson dazu sagen…) und war damit aber vor der Arbeit (muss da gleich hin) noch im #BotanischerGartenRostock (Kasusfehlerhashtag!) und habe u.A. dieses #Eichhörnchen / diesen #Katteiker noch fotografiert und wollte ihn mit euch teilen... Habt einen guten Tag!
