#snac2 — Public Fediverse posts

After the mastodon.social DDOS I thought it would be a good idea to have my own instance, so I installed #snac2. It is indeed light and fast, but unfortunately I found some operational bugs that stopped me from getting the most out of it. So now I'm trying #gotosocial. I'm giving my contacts a bit of a rollercoaster, but I guess you have to break eggs to make an omlette.

Anyway, my new account is @philip

I sincerely love you weirdos. <3

Edit: added transparency to image. Scratch that, GtS seems to not like transparency in AVIF, so I restored the original and uploaded a black background variant as well

EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

Uhm, well, that's a completely reasonable collection of source code repositories. Software, everything written in basic #C by @grunfink

https://codeberg.org/grunfink

I'd like to use at least two of them: #sutter, the #gmi and #html static site generator and #snac2, an #ActivityPub instance.

@fediverseobserver

#snac2, #PeerTube, #WordPress #Misskey, #Akkoma; it's especially refreshing to see a #snac instance in the list.

And only a single mastopub box in the list, lolz.

People are starting to learn that there's no such thing as a mastodon network, and further that there's waaaay mo better #Fediverse platforms to meet whatever their needs and desires are in #DeSoc - many of those Fediverse severs in fact bridging the #protocol_divide by supporting not just #ActivityPub in the Fediverse, but also #OStatus (yes, still), #AT_Protocol, #Nomad, #Zot, #nostr, #Diaspora, and other emerging Fediverse protocols under current development!
