Question about #snac: does snac send out Activitypub Deletes when one user's content is purged? So, is the content only deleted locally or also in the Fediverse?

I love independent proposals, so next release of #snac will include support for Webmention. It's a protocol built on top of web standards and part of the IndieWeb. It helps web page maintainers and bloggers to know when one of their URLs are mentioned in other platforms by providing a webhook to receive notifications. In snac's case, all links written in a Fediverse post (directly or using the Markdown format) will be tested for Webmention endpoints and notified if they exist.

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.

Time for another blog post, about hosting a fediverse instance on my ancient Raspberry Pi. Obviously I had to share it on the fediverse.

Hi. Next #snac release will include a new field in server.json named favicon_url, that will allow to set the default favicon. For now, you can configure your HTTP frontend to serve $YOUR_HOST/favicon.ico to whatever icon you want.

When #snac receives a post from someone you follow, it also tries to retrieve the posts it's a reply to, up to the first one, to provide some context (and show the conversation as a tree).

A #snac oddity; why does my view of the timeline of toots from folks I follow show me replies from folks I follow but when they're talking to people I /don't/?

Ok - I'm giving #snac (.bsd.cafe) a proper shake as my main fedi account. I still can't get the #IceCubes app to add it as an account, so I'm going to use the webUI for now.

If you're seeing this via a boost from my other account then please consider following the boosted account directly, as I won't be boosting its toots particularly often! ❤️

You're welcome, enjoy your #snac !

All the #FediMeteo #snac instances have been updated to 2.78

#FediMeteoUpdates

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

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.

Hi, #snac author here. The easiest way is to configure Caddy to serve a special file as /favicon.ico, overriding snac's default.
