After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @[email protected] on bsd.cafe thanks @[email protected] , I’m kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their own instance ? Please share you pro’s and con’s plus any workarounds you have come up with.
Also how are you viewing / posting on mobile ? Are you just sticking with web or using the likes of #Tusky ?
#Fediverse #ActivityPub
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I’m running it at snac.jamesoff.net because it looked interesting and I really like the file system-based implementation (reminds me of qmail). I use it from Mona on iOS (I contributed a few small changes to help that work) but currently I mostly use this main account.
It’s behind an nginx, like all my stuff. It’s managed with daemontools and in a jail :)
@[email protected] Ah qmail those were the days. ;)

@[email protected] @[email protected] I’m using the web interface, Enafore and Tusky, depending on my workstation/task.
Spinning your own instance can be a nice experience and I’d normally encourage it but I don’t want you to abandon the BSD Cafe 😉
Joking, of course. Running snac on the BSDs is a joy. And when the move (both in and out) will be implemented, I’m expecting many more users trying snacI’m running snac for a week now, on FreeBSD via Caddy reverse proxy. Runs great. Some minor issues with compatibility with mastodon, my replies are not always seen as replies by people on mastodon. Most iOS mastodon apps have some issues, like random duplicate posts. Generally only minor things.
@[email protected] @[email protected] yes, I can confirm that Mastodon seems to stick with the @ mention, and fails to always understand when this is missing. Tusky is adding it itself, so using Tusky with snac will produce a Mastodon-like behavior
@[email protected] @[email protected] I have noticed though that private messages that have been started via another source like the snac web app don’t show under the #Tusky private messages tab but display in the feed showing a padlock.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Interesting. I’ll try to test it further
@[email protected] Thank you for sharing this information. When you say some replies don’t show up as replies on Mastodon, Do they show up as a new post or not at all ?
