  Hi everyone. Yesterday, many #snac instances had a failure in the notifications area: accessing it was impossible. I have not much information about what the problem is, but it seems it's related to a specially crafted post that makes snac hang. If this is happening to you, and you have access to snac's disk storage, you can delete manually the files inside the notify directory of your user (they are a bunch of .json files). Whenever I finally understand what is making snac fail, I'...

  I've just published version 2.94 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes (mostly bug fixes): The author of a replied post is no longer added to the CC: line, as it does not have much sense. Fixed mentions for users with hyphens in their identifiers. Unlisted replies to unknown posts were being skipped from the timeline, so don't do that. If an actor marked as broken gets a post boosted (proving that is [back] fun...

  If what 'split domains' mean is "running #snac in subdomain.example.com but identify as accounts from example.com" then no, it's not supported. But, you can have snac running from a subdirectory of your main domain (which, as far as I know, no other fediverse implementation does). I.e. you can have your snac root in example.com/social and then you can identify as you@example.com . So you have no unnecessary subdomain just to be you. Which is what I do for this very domain...

  I've just published version 2.92 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes: Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_inbox_collection is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because it seems to be used for harrasing people. Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_history is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because archived history files don&...
