cambrian.social is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I'm considering setting up a #selfhosted #snac2 and eventually migrating to it.
Talk me out of it!
That might explain why I have a single instance snac
server, and still get basically spam posts.
I know I get something similar to that when there is
like a secondary relationship thru someone i am following.
But these things I see seemingly have no connecting relationships.
Max poll options doubled to 16.
Replies to my posts are no longer automatically purged (if I understood the manpage correctly).
Thanks to the snac author for the perfect ActivityPub implementation for me 🍻 #snac2
just append the url with ?terse=true
behold and compare the results!

Friendly periodic reminder that snac is a great, great piece of software.
I've upgraded #FediMeteo in minutes, recompiling snac *inside each jail*.
The Fediverse, as the Fediverse should be.
so I am hopefully back online.
There is a person I've been helping for a while who runs two instances, one #GoToSocial and one #snac.
Yesterday, they suffered severe file system corruption on their device, and I lent them a hand with the recovery. For GoToSocial, they restored the DB from the previous backup and got it running again. For snac, although a few files were lost, no action was necessary... it just started back up and did what it had to do, bringing the instance back to full operation.
This goes to show that when software is well-designed and intentionally kept simple, it's also easier to get back up and running when something goes wrong. In this case, snac's "files-only" approach demonstrated excellent resilience.
Thanks, @grunfink !
