If you're looking to host your very own single-user/a-few-users #fediverse instance, you cannot go wrong with #snac. It is simple to install on Ubuntu and works very well with some really solid clients. It is also written in C, so it is fast, with few dependencies. Great work @grunfink, you've got a new monthly supporter on Ko-fi!
I am just so amazed at how well the @phanpy web client works with #snac. I started self-hosting phanpy last night (it is a pure static web app) and it works seamlessly. Makes me very happy when things go like they're expected. Thank you for this @cheeaun!
Getting #snac running on this server has been straightforward. I spent longer hesitating on the top-level domain. Took a few minutes to get the systemd service up and running, but that was the most complicated step so far.
I find these "popularity contests" pointless, ridiculous and inherently toxic, and a signature of private social networks where the goal is not to help people communicate between each other.
This is the reason why #snac does not propagate how many followers nor likes a person have.
Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse,
since December 2023, snac.bsd.cafe has been operational, initially in an experimental phase but has proven to be stable and reliable.
Thus, Snac2 is now available as a service of BSD Cafe. It is considered one of the best and most comprehensive "lightweight" implementations of #ActivityPub, offering one of the best ways to interact with the Fediverse without the need for the extensive dependencies and components of Mastodon.
It is now possible to request an account on the snac2 instance of BSD Cafe. There isn't an automatic sign-up process (snac2 does not provide one, as it wasn't designed to create large communities).

On this #MsDaisyMonday🌈❤️ we remember one of #MsDaisy's favorite #Snac, the home made carrot chip 🥕😋. And yes, her decerning pallet only liked home made 😏.
A late night Valentine’s meeting over some #snac 💞🌹. Skye addresses her friends, letting them know how much she cherishes everybun. 💝 #ValentinesDay#SkyeLove
A bunny’s work is never done around here! Tonight I’m busy strategizing in the (card)board room with BunMum and BunDad. (I’m hoping to slip in a last minute agenda item on #snac…🤞😏) -Skye 💕 #SkyeLove
