Well, ok. It looks like a phone app, has no title bar, and the scrollbars are typical horrible phone-style scrollbars, but it works.

#Tokodon just gave me a server error trying to authenticate to snac. :/

This is not the manual; man pages snac(1) (user manual), snac(5) (formats) and snac(8) (administrator manual) are what you are looking for.

THIS
IS
THE
WAY

#snac itself is remarkably chill and old-fashioned. :D

I had no idea that #snac has stopped working with Lemmy and NodeBB groups. I'll take a look at it.

The issue below was caused because this idiot aka me forgot to rebuild snac under FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE so the compatibility package is not required.

WOW ! The only jail I had a problem with was my #snac jail. It refused to run up quoting this error ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.30" not found, required by "snac"
I found a fix which is you have to install compat14x-amd compatibility files so stuff that relies on older libs can still run.

Moderation, on snac, is necessarily less comprehensive than on Mastodon, and consequently, it becomes much more difficult to handle issues with it. Reports as understood on Mastodon do not exist, and as a result, the outcome might be detrimental even to other instances.

That being said, if you have a community with a small number of users (although the number of users is relatively important, given that the largest FediMeteo instance has over 1200 cities/users) but, especially, if they are trusted, you can go with snac. If you need a more complete solution, perhaps it may not be the best solution (yet). I tried Friendica and I like it, but not enough to have a clear opinion on how it performs with larger communities.

Mastodon, once you understand how it works, is not complicated to maintain, but, like all stacks, it needs to be fully understood to avoid problems (e.g., cleanup, etc.).

@stesnac Hello from Canada,

I am grateful for all the work you put into your BSD cafe community.

As an outside observer,

your example and public decisions have answered much of my fediverse questions, except this one :

Were you to start your BSD Cafe community today, and decided to choose only one fediverse program to run,

Do you think SNAC would be enough to satisfy your community members, instead of using Mastodon ?

That's my question.

Here's some extra context :

I don't want to run Mastodon as it seems the technical aspects are beyond my abilities.

I have learning-curve fatigue the more I looked into setting up and then maintaining Mastodon.

I'm still considering Friendica, simply because I can turn RSS feeds into fediverse usernames, which appear in the Local Friendica timeline.

Take away my RSS requirement,

Then SNAC seems like it's enough.

I think it makes sense for Pixelfed to only display images, but I do think it should be a (per-account-followed) setting and also mentioned in the onboarding that the user is only getting photo posts, rather than the entire "picture" of the fediverse, if you'll forgive the awkward diction/pun.

As someone who uses #Pixelfed, #Mastodon, #GoToSocial, and #snac, I appreciate the slightly different takes on the fediverse that these different applications provide.

Quoted posts are now shown.

Added metadata to remote users in the people page (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed memory leak (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed user matching (contributed by rakoo).

Rendering visibility conditionally, with lesser reach if needed (contributed by byte).

Added a button next to a follow notification to follow back.

Fixed typo in man page (contributed by spky).

Updated Czech and German translations (contributed by pmjv and zen).

Also how would Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.

I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are would you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??

The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.

Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD

Anyway, #snac doesn't have any of those types of timeline masking things, so it's much nicer in that respect 🙂

@passthejoe

Another super minimalistic one to check out if #snac doesn't work out for you is the wonderfully-named #honk ;)

It's from the (in)famous #OpenBSD dev, #tedu. ;)

@passthejoe

There's always #GoToSocial and #snac ;)

@jmalonzo thats why I am using #Gotosocial and #Snac, it is lightweight both on money and resources. :D

@jmalonzo

#Snac search function is good, Gotosocial one is #meh it's working if you have a lot of time to wait

Happy Monday everyone and bun! 😊

I've had a busy time of it, working on my second Penny-Shaped-Groove in the rug, I earned some 'no Penny' from my hudad 😀😍. And I've been on the ball for getting lots of #snac from humum.

This is me during this morning's #FootBookTime. Have a great start to the week, everyone! 😘

You make it possible. Thank you so much.

I’m afraid that my head has decided that at one point, when the madness subsides a bit, I’m going to install #snac on a VPS.

@vab @Bonn there are many followers from Bonn but #snac (the great software powering FediMeteo) won't disclose anything about them - not even the real number 😉
