You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
After receiving a follow confirmation, a bunch of posts from that account are requested and inserted into the timeline as context.
Continuously failing instances are marked as broken after a given number of days (see snac(8) on how to tune this counter). Incoming activity from any of these instances resets the counter.
Fixed a nasty bug that incorrectly deleted private local posts in certain cases.
Scheduled posts can now be sent from the command line (see snac(1) for more information on how to do it).
Docker: add timezone, new examples for building and complete Swarm mode stack with Traefik (contributed by daltux).
Fixed timezone names (contributed by dharmik).
Documented the update command (contributed by xvello).

Added support for bullet points in posts (lines starting with an asterisk or a hyphen, plus a space).
Added Dutch (nl_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).
Added Western Frisian (fy_NL) translation (contributed by martijndeb).
Mastodon API: Fixed repeated entries in timelines.
Added nodeinfo 2.1 support.
Fixed boosts from the command line not showing in the public timeline (contributed by xvello).
Updated several language files (contributed by zen and daltux).
Retrieving a post's replies is now possible via ActivityPub.

/api/v1/instance/peers Mastodon API endpoint in version 2.75. It returns the list of nodes a given #snac instance knows, unless the disable_inbox_collection knob is set to true (in this case, an empty array is returned).![[?]](https://snac.daltux.net/daltux/s/d998ffd7c33b03cbf829fc04b0bbfc4b.jpg)

Working on free software is sometimes great because you find people that really care. Men and women that care for others, that weave social fabric, that altruistically share their time in benefits of others.
Stefano (like many others) gives his time as a gift for others to enjoy. He helped me make #snac what it is now.
If you had given up when my software was in its infancy, I would probably gave up and left it unfinished.
So, I dedicate my #ThankyouTuesday back to you, Stefano.

Fortunately, @voron 's site on snac themes still has this screenshot, which I'm happy to share.
This response from the author of snac motivated me to continue, study, and appreciate this fantastic software for the Fediverse.
Snac is an example of true internet democracy: it runs everywhere and allows anyone to have their own autonomous, personal space in the Fediverse.
"Don't despair or quit", says an author who cares. And the Fediverse cares about them.
For today's #ThankYouTuesday, I want to thank grunfink - @grunfink - for the excellent work they do, quietly and with passion. I suggest that if you think snac is a good idea and you have the means, you offer them at least a coffee.

A screenshot of a social media thread. The first post is by "Stefano BSD Cafe" and describes a problem where threads hang when boosting, liking, and posting messages in a short amount of time. The reply is from "The Real Grunfink", who says they have a vague idea of the issue and will push a fix soon.
Update of the poll object), or b) when the end time expires, where snac queries the object back to get the final results.My friends, I'm so excited and happy to introduce a new project: the illumos Cafe!
The positive and constructive spirit of the BSD Cafe, created and maintained by all the friends who participated from day one in building a strong and friendly community, deserves to spread to other operating systems. Because there are other OSes that deserve attention, certainly more than they're getting right now.
Operating systems based on illumos (like SmartOS, OmniOS, Tribblix, OpenIndiana, etc.) are mature, stable, secure, and perfectly usable for a wide range of tasks. ZFS is native, zones are an excellent method for containerization, and bhyve and kvm coexist beautifully - and so much more, too much to list in a single post.
So from today, the illumos Cafe will stand alongside the BSD Cafe in creating a positive, respectful, and growth-oriented (but also relaxing!) environment, starting right here in the Fediverse with a Mastodon instance and a snac one.
I've written an introductory article about the project, including some technical details. I invite everyone interested to read it: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/08/18/introducing-the-illumos-cafe/
Choose your table, take a seat and enjoy your time at the illumos Cafe!

, #snac 's default icon, before.When I started developing snac, I realized I needed a default icon to show for those accounts that lacked an avatar, similar to the outlined elephant Mastodon has. Given the minimalistic nature of the software, I thought that having a heavily-pixelated one, even 8-bit-like, was a perfect match.
So, I started designing one, inspired by singer/composer Siouxsie Sioux, whom I'm a big fan of. I've done some pixelart before, but was not totally satisfied, so I asked a friend with more artistic skills, who did some tweaks, and I was finally happy with it.
Also, it's said that all cool software must have some easter eggs; so, Susie looks somewhat different sometimes, and once a year, in a special day, she looks very different. Easter eggs are like jokes and if you explain them they lose their power, so I'm leaving it here.

A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
By the way, my #snac instance now runs on 
#DockerSwarm along with 
#Traefik, the reverse proxy which I've used since the start of this server. If you think it could be helpful, I’d be happy to submit a pull request with an example file like examples/docker-swarm_stack_traefik.yml.
I’ve also pushed the 
container image I built to Codeberg. Additionally, I could share a 
script that automates this setup.
If the propagate_local_purge configuration variable is set to true in server.json, purged local posts generate a Delete activity that is sent everywhere, instead of only deleted from the filesystem.
Included a small tweak to avoid being confused by implementations that return valid webfinger queries for non-account URLs (like i.e. the Wordpress ActivityPub plugin in some configurations). This helps in searching by URL.
Added Ukrainian translation (contributed by wincentbalin).
New command-line option muted, to list all MUTEd actors.
Mastodon API: Fixed metadata and follower approval flag when editing the account.
