Lee 🏖️Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.
Steven Rosenberg@beachcomber I'm also interested in this. GtS was rather heavy, disk-space-wise, for a single user, and I'd like something leaner overall.

dirkHey! It's a small snaciverse? 😅 #TeamTinyFedi
It's funny, when I'm reading for pleasure I use the browser, but when I'm looking for a post from a week ago that I didn't bookmark or for a news update I tend to use Tusky.

technicat@beachcomber I have snac and mitra running on the same debian server for testing, they're my only self-hosted fediverse platforms (I had iceshrimp.net running for a while but I carelessly clobbered it). I haven't bothered getting snac hooked up to nginx, just spin it up when I want to test something but no db so I just git pull and make to update. Mitra is available as debian packages so it's also a breeze to update.

Yes, and I find it quite good.
And to run it as a #FastCGI, you don't even need a VPS: a cheap shared hosting supporting #CGI will run #snac2 just fine! https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html
That's why I prefer it to gotosocial.
Also I try to avoid #Go as much as possible cause it's a #Google's thing.
Snac is written in a pretty readable (and a bit clever, sometimes) #C.
And if you know C even a little bit, it's really worth a read.

Gabriel ⛺💤@giacomo @informapirata @beachcomber @alephoto85 Snac2 is great. The only thing that got me back at hosting a full mastodon instance was because I wanted to use a mastodon mobile app fully. So it depend how you intend to use it :)
But like I just said; a mastodon app. Snac2 is not Mastodon. It has, howerver, a "compatibility" mastodon API. It was just not enough for me personally.
But beside that; Snac2 is really a game changer. Stable, reliable and low on memory/cpu usage.
ltning@beachcomber I'm running it on a 486 with #NetBSD, and also on a dual Pentium Pro (guess what .. also NetBSD). It has room for improvement when it comes to string parsing efficiency, but it's probably going to wipe the floor with anything else out there .. if not, please let me know - my 486 is sweating, as is this machine (the ppro) since I just posted from it a minute ago! :D

@beachcomber yes snac is fun! i also try to expand it sometimes to bring some of the functionality from akkoma that i'm used to. and write custom css for it as well, it's very entertaining
