Dear friends of #BSDCafe and the #Fediverse, since...

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).

For information and details, I suggest reading the relevant page on our Wiki: https://wiki.bsd.cafe/snac.bsd.cafe

Have a great week!

@stefano thanks for operating!

The snac2 source was fun to read. I'm not a C programmer but it is fairly digestible.

@ado it is. I've also contributed with some code, even if I haven't been coding in C for more than 20 years. The code is clear and well written.

@stefano why do you run both Mastodon and Snac2?
If I were to self-host I’d definitely look for a lightweight implementation but you’re already running mastodon…
Is it mostly an experiment? As a user why would I sign up on one instance vs the other?

By the way, congrats for launching! I am genuinely curious and I hope my message doesn’t sound too critical

@mario For a new user of the BSD Cafe, I recommend subscribing to the Mastodon instance. Additionally, I suggest trying out snac2 with the eventual goal of self-hosting it. I have faith in snac2 and am sharing this to raise its visibility and provide users with the chance to try it out.
