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.

Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).
Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1)
for more information).
The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.
Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).
Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).
A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).
Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.
Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

Does anyone have a screenshot of Gargron's first Mastodon post?I don't have such a gem, but I have here the first #snac post. Yes, I know the relevancy is astronomically inferior, but not for me 😆

The last #snac release fixes a problem with the Mastodon API. Now, apps (or webapps like Phanpy) properly work as the "inifite scrolling" has been fixed.Thanks, Stefano. To be fair, the merit for this fix goes to @cheeaun@mastodon.social (Phanpy's author), who brought to my attention where the problem was.
Yes, I use my relay account to follow multible Hashtags from
https://relay.fedi.buzz/
And it follows
https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com
Then it follows some https://a.gup.pe/ groups. But I don't know if that one works for me to see it at my real account.
But the fedi.buzz hashtags work very good and the gytazy relay generates a lot of content for me to follow with Hashtags too. Feels like on a big instance.
xs
code is specially crafted to parse the JSON files in use in the ActivityPub protocol, which are a) mostly small, and b) they have very few numbers, so the string to double conversion happens almost never.Regarding the enum numbers: they are surely arbitrary, but the rationale there is that they are all ASCII control codes (so: less than 32) that should never happen in a JSON file (and, if they occasionally appear, they are converted to their Unicode representations). The correspondence is:
XS_TYPE_STRING 0x02 ASCII: STX (start of text)So, yes, they are arbitrary, but make some fucking sense, or at least a little bit.
XS_TYPE_TRUE 0x06 ASCII: ACK (acknowledge)
XS_TYPE_FALSE 0x15 ASCII: NAK (negative ack.)
XS_TYPE_LIST 0x1d ASCII: GS (group separator)
XS_TYPE_LITEM 0x1f US (unit separator)
XS_TYPE_DICT 0x1c ASCII: FS (file separator)

Added Webmention support for links (Markdown-style or direct) written in a post.
Added new command-line options for list maintenance.
Display custom emoji in more places (contributed by dandelions).
Mastodon API: fixed infinite scroll in many clients (thanks to cheeaun for giving me the clue), added /api/v1/accounts/.../lists
endpoint (contributed by dandelions).
Email notifications can now be sent via libcurl
SMTP instead of spawning the /usr/sbin/sendmail
program. To use this new feature, some additional server configuration is needed, see snac(8)
(contributed by shtrophic).

I don't know how many web sites out there implement Webmention (I guess very few), but given that it has been very simple to implement, here it is.
Long live the non-big-tech Internet.
As Stefano says, "you can't describe passion", but you can feel it from his words.
I'll fix it, thanks for reporting.
I've heard that an app called Mona works acceptably, but I have no idea. I also heard that an iOs app named tooot works; this one also has an Android version, I did some shallow tests with it and it seems to work.
Personally, on my mobile phone, I use #snac's web UI from Android Firefox, and it works perfectly (in fact, for me, if something has an acceptable WWW suport, I install no mobile app, but I'm somewhat of an unfrozen caveman).
/etc/hosts
(or even /etc/passwd
) in a #snac post and let the verb be spread to the world.Not so in other platforms:
https://scalewithlee.substack.com/p/when-etchsts-breaks-your-substack
Have a nice #snac experience!
Added support for scheduled posts (for this to work correctly, users will have to set their time zone, see below).
The user can now select a working time zone. This will be used to correctly parse the local date and time of a scheduled post.
Fixed incorrect poll vote format, which was causing problems in platforms like GotoSocial.
Mastodon API: added support for /api/v1/instance/peers
.
Added a new snac-admin
helper script (contributed by shtrophic).
In the web UI, posts are separated by the <hr hidden>
tag; it's invisible in graphical browsers, but it separates post clearly in text-based browsers.
Some Finnish, Spanish, Czech and Russian translation updates and fixes.

This release has been inspired by the song Pictures on the Wall by #MichelleGurevich.
After reading the questions you ask, I don't think #snac will meet your needs. One by one:
• If A blocks B, B will still see A's posts, unless A's account is private.
• Reporting is not possible (yet).
• There is no way to create a local-only post.
• There is a local instance timeline.
• There is no federated timeline.
• There are no moderation tools. The admin can delete a rogue user, that's all.
• There is no character limit for posts; you can paste Tolstoi's War and Piece in a post, if you like (not that I encourage that).
• Full instances can be blocked (from the command-line, as it's an admin option).
So, I'm sorry.
