@grunfink Hello! I've set it up yesterday and it's been super easy (fastcgi behind httpd), but some things that feel like they should be working from third party clients don't work, like attaching images to posts. So I'm wondering what setup people use!
...
...
![[?]](https://snac.sklenicekrtku.cz/ozzelot/s/avatar-7319bc52e1fca4414cd702d03b2da8ec.png){kind=avatar}
@grunfink Hmm, my issue with posting images from Phanpy (or other Mastodon clients) is with the GET endpoint, after I submit a post with attached images, the GET request to `/api/v1/media/post-d7891f3f5d40f8dca38f3581784e1bac.png` returns 404 (even though the png and txt with the image description do exist on the server, eg have been uploaded properly.
...
...
@grunfink I mean, it does include the host of the instance, so `https://social.gosha.net/api/v1/media/post-d7891f3f5d40f8dca38f3581784e1bac.png`. What I'm trying to figure out is why snac is responding with 404 to that.

Say, how are edits to posts managed? Is there any indication an edit happened, a way to see the original\previous versions or to add an explanation for the changes that's not just a "Edit: x-y-z" line?
I suppose this might more a question for the #ActivityPub tag tho'.
...
updated attribute must be set to the latest modification date, and an Update activity to the modified Note object be sent out there. There are no provisions for a history of changes or a modification reason that I know of....
I suppose it is enough to show there has been a change and leaving the actual explanation a duty of the poster.
Thanks.

This, also, is good to know.

[CW: Spicy take about Mastodon (specifically) [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
If you really believe in the silly 250 character limit, then why the heck is everyone posting "3/12" continuation threads?
Either the limit is a good idea, and nobody should post multi-part toots, or its a dumb idea, and should be retired (in favor of a ~6k post limit). One or the other. Cut the crap, already.
I'd 100x rather see long posts shortened with a "See more" button than yet another toot that ends with "1/" 🤦🏻♂️
Forcing people to create threads just to get their thought across is terrible UX, and I'm tired of being diplomatic about it.

Mastodon iOS apps: Mona vs Ice Cubes
The biggest dealbreaker on Ice Cubes for me is that you can’t add a new line when writing a post. On Mona you can, and it feels a bit more polished in general, the interface is more Apple-like.
At the same time, Ice Cubes is fully free whereas Mona is freemium, and the worst part — it’s a subscription. I could pay 10 euros for an app, but I would never ever sign up for a subscription.
Now, the free version is fine. I don’t care about multiple accounts. The only thing that bothers me is that tab bar editing is locked behind a sub, and choosing swipe actions too, but it’s not a big deal, it’s still fully usable.
What do you guys use on #ios ?

I've been paying for https://alexh.dev a couple years now, and decided it's time to put something there. Right now I'm pondering which SSG to use, between Zola and ssg by @hi. My goal is to spend as little time as possible, so maybe a "batteries included" approach of Zola is better for my use case. At the same time, "batteries included" means added complexity, so it saves time by doing stuff for you, but sinks time by making you research what and how it does. You choose the trade-off :p

@Paulatics I heard lots of stories about servers with bad moderators, both ones that ignore abuse complaints and ones where the mods were abusive, so I decided to run my own.
Had #snac (fediverse software) been around when I started, I’d already be on it - it’s super simple to set up. I’ll move to snac from Akkoma some time soon.

I have set up #snac on another host and I am quite liking it.
I am hoping I can find a reasonable way to plumb certain RSS feeds through to some
accounts without resorting to writing yet another RSS feed parser myself
this is really cool, you can use this thingy by @untitaker to turn your private mastodon bookmarks into an rss feed that you can then add as a live folder to @zenbrowser or add to @NetNewsWire or where ever else you wanna be reminded of stuff you just bookmarked on your fediverse scroll session

@grunfink if all the tools used the software or api name in their own name we would live in a hellscape. There are hundreds of things called masto-this and masto-that and makes the entire network harder to navigate and talk about.

"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

If you have a SNAC account and browse the entire Fediverse through the web, this addon allows you to see most of the public messages posted on the Fediverse in your timeline. Simply open the message and click on the SnacWer icon in the address bar (or the SnacWer entry in the addons menu on Android). All you have to do is set your SNAC public address in the options and freely browse the Fediverse.This is great!

summary and details tags (which #snac relies very much on), I would recommend it as the best web browser for a snac experience....
...
Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).
I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.

What is Snac?
Snac (also known as #Snac2) is a simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance. It is written in portable C and uses a file-based storage system with no database required.It supports creating and managing user accounts, posting, following, and interacting with the wider Fediverse. It also includes a Mastodon-compatible API for use with third-party clients.
IMO: It is the best option for people who wants to self-host their own Fediverse instance.
What is YunoHost
TL;DR: Install Yunohost on Debian system, it manages your domains, email, SSl certificates and you can install multiple applications from its app catalog.YunoHost is an operating system aiming to simplify server administration and therefore democratize self-hosting while making sure it stays reliable, secure, ethical and lightweight. It is a copylefted libre software project maintained by volunteers. Technically, it can be seen as a server distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux.
Install #Yunohost https://doc.yunohost.org/en/category/-get-started
