I have done both #honk and #snac and can recommend both. If you're looking for features, I would recommend the latter, it works great with most clients. Either runs just fine on anything with 32-bit Raspberry Pi oomph. I have run honk under Termux on an old Android phone. Both are fun. #TeamTinyFedi

Thanks @stefano@bsd.cafe for the hook-up on the #snac instance!!!

Hey guys 👋 it's me , I finally got access to my #snac account

Hi. I don't have access to any Apple phone, so I'm unable to do any test, but I of course would like it to work as better as possible.

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).

Hello #Fediverse! Let's see if the mentions work as expected by acknowledging some people that helped me get online:

Thanks @grunfink@comam.es for the #snac server, @stefano@bsd.cafe for the blog posts that pointed me to it, @voron@snac.nya.pub for the theme and @manton@manton.org for motivating me with your book

Added browser caching over my #snac instance, for better user experience with all the files being proxied from other instances. Apache configs (requires enabling mod_headers if you don't have it already):

    <If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/[^/]+/(s|x|y)/.+$# || %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^.*\.ico$#">
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=172800, public, immutable, must-revalidate"
    </If>

I can definitely recommend #Snac as that's what is powering my instance.

@jsit have a look at

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.61 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26287

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are progressing (3 out of 4 passed, which is a good sign; I guess MacPorts recently started checking 4 OS versions on GitHub automatically instead of 3 so this is taking a bit longer than I am accustomed to, it seems as if the macos-15 checks in particular are sluggish, maybe that system is overloaded?).

Regardless, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Neat to see more Mastodon migration improvements! I think I saw one person already boast of successes of migrating their followers to a snac instance!

Thank you for your hard work and continuing to make my favorite ActivityPub implementation even better!

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.61 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Migration from a Mastodon account to a snac one has been implemented. Please see snac(8) (the administrator manual) for more information.

Mastodon API: fixed timelines/public (it was showing less posts that it should).

Fixed over-zealous caching to the public timeline.

Some HTML tweaks and fixes to the web interface.
