m5l.eu 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 wish I had #fediverse (#mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #friendica #hubzilla #iceshrimp #snac #lemmy #mbin #kbin #piefed ) #client , I mean like #ELK #lmst #pl-fe #phanpy #tooty #sengi #pinafore #halcyon . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include #tags. Each #tag must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other #reddit #forum like #activitypub implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon #tags.
Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the #f2f p2p architecture of #scuttlebot (#scuttlebutt) kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.

@xenotar @solr4ctg Não conhecia. Interessante, principalmente por ter sido realizado com #SNAC 
Não consta o município onde moro, mas recomendo então, por exemplo a @silvialucia @maizabaron: sigam @chapeco__santa_catarina 
@veroandi @manualdousuario Parece que foi partição cheia, que ampliaram e segue a vida 😅
Também senti, em momentos, algum enrosco aqui e principalmente no snac.daltux.net, mas não cheguei a confirmar a origem.
Quanto a #Ayom, a gente felizmente ainda tem uma folguinha de infra a alocar, se precisar. Também dá pra separar melhor processos do Sidekiq, que faz o processamento das filas de entrada e saída do 
No #SNAC, ampliei o número de threads, mas talvez precise mais 🤔

I also noticed that all the admin tabs at the top of the snac admin page are all open taking up screen real estate.
I'm not complaining merely poiting out some of my findings and there is probably good reason that I don't know about why these work they way they do.
It does seem to be running an older version, so it could be caused by the same issue that's blocking it from connecting to #snac:
```bash
rld@Intrepid:~$ curl -sL mastodon.sdf.org |grep -o 'version":"[^"]*"'
version":"4.1.25"
rld@Intrepid:~$ curl -sL fosstodon.org |grep -o 'version":"[^"]*"'
version":"4.5.3"
rld@Intrepid:~$ curl -sL mastodon.bsd.cafe |grep -o 'version":"[^"]*"'
version":"4.5.3"
rld@Intrepid:~$ curl -sL mastodon.social |grep -o 'version":"[^"]*"'
version":"4.6.0-nightly.2025-12-09"
rld@Intrepid:~$
The dev on the matrix chat said that snac only supported the v1 api and that Tokodon defaults to v2, but should fall back to v1, but that might be broken? It could be that mastodon.sdf.org is running too old a version of mastodon for #Tokodon to talk to??Hopefully the bug will get fixed. XD

This is not the manual; man pages—https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2snac(1)(user manual),snac(5)(formats) andsnac(8)(administrator manual) are what you are looking for.
THIS
IS
THE
WAY
!!!
I had no idea that #snac has stopped working with Lemmy and NodeBB groups. I'll take a look at it.
The issue below was caused because this idiot aka me forgot to rebuild snac under FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE so the compatibility package is not required.
WOW ! The only jail I had a problem with was my #snac jail. It refused to run up quoting this error ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libcrypto.so.30" not found, required by "snac"
I found a fix which is you have to install compat14x-amd compatibility files so stuff that relies on older libs can still run.

I think it makes sense for Pixelfed to only display images, but I do think it should be a (per-account-followed) setting and also mentioned in the onboarding that the user is only getting photo posts, rather than the entire "picture" of the fediverse, if you'll forgive the awkward diction/pun.
As someone who uses #Pixelfed, #Mastodon, #GoToSocial, and #snac, I appreciate the slightly different takes on the fediverse that these different applications provide.

Also how would Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??I have less followers than you, but I run this #snac instance (and two more) in a VPS with only 1 CPU.
I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10505 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.
I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are wouold you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??
The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10505 (6) @ 3.2 - 4.6 GHz with 32Gb ram.
Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD
