  1. @steve mookie kong ...which, unfortunately, would limit the features of the backend to what Mastodon itself can do. Because nothing else is implemented in the frontend.

    No enclosed threaded conversations. Very limited HTML rendering. No formatting the text of your own messages. No emoji reactions. No images embedded in messages. No more than four images dangling below a message as file attachments.

    If anything, someone who is not a Mastodon dev and not even daily-driving Mastodon should soft-fork Mastodon's Web UI and modify it so that it can adjust to the backend and offer all the features of the backend.

    If you use it with snac2, you have the full set of snac2's features available.

    If you use it with Akkoma, you have the full set of Akkoma's features available.

    If you somehow manage to use it with Friendica, you have the full set of Friendica's features available.

    Maybe there could be some options in the configuration that can (but don't by default) limit certain features to Mastodon's standard for those who really need the Mastodon UX with a non-Mastodon backend.

  2. 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 !

  3. Ich hab den Code für den @umstritten Bot mal auf Codeberg gepackt:

    codeberg.org/marcr/umstritten

    Ist im Prinzip nur ein kurzes Shellscript, das #snac2 als Instanz, bzw. ActivityPub Gateway verwendet.

  4. @[email protected] @[email protected] I have been contemplating moving from Mastodon to #snac2 for a while now – will there be a detailed comparison of #littleFedi to other AP servers at some point?

    Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.

    Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.

    I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.

  7. Uh oh I think I'm becoming snac pilled... #snac2 I mean >> it's so tiny >>
