I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.66 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27028/

2 out of 3 of GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks have passed (and the third is running and hopefully will as well).

As in the past, I don't have commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.

Thank you for the continued improvements and bug fixes!

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.66 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.

Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).

Fixed non-appearing buttons Approve and Discard if the account requesting a follow were being followed.

This release has been inspired by the songs All Is Lost by #KatieGarfield and All Is Not Lost by #TonyAnderson.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.65 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26783

GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks are currently running (two are queued. Hopefully those will go smoothly, but I know at least one of them in particular seems to take an awfully long time recently).

Thanks again to you and other snac contributors for continuing to improve what continues to be my favorite ActivityPub implementation!

Oh, also since this PR was merged: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/26633 It appears as if snac is now building correctly on older versions of OS X that were throwing up errors in under "Port Health" from https://ports.macports.org/port/snac/details/ I do have older Mac systems, but wasn't testing on much older OS versions, so I kind of turned a blind eye to the errors that IIRC were showing up on OS X High Sierra back through Lion? Those seem to be working now too! (Though again, I haven't tested such systems personally and won't dig through my storage unit to exhume old hardware of mine to do so for the foreseeable short term future).

I just donated to snac, you should too if you like it. https://liberapay.com/grunfink/ #snac #ActivityPub

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.65 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added a new user option to disable automatic follow confirmations (follow requests must be manually approved from the people page).

The search box also searches for accounts (via webfinger).

New command-line action import_list, to import a Mastodon list in CSV format (so that Mastodon Follow Packs can be directly used).

New command-line action import_block_list, to import a Mastodon list of accounts to be blocked in CSV format.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.63 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

The server can now act as a proxy for all image, audio or video media coming from other account's posts (both from the Web UI and the Mastodon API). This way, other servers will see media requests coming from the server IP, not the user's, improving privacy. This is controlled by setting the proxy_media boolean field to server.json to true.

The strict_public_timelines option introduced in the previous release now works correctly.

Fixed a crash when posting from the links browser.

Fixed some repeated images from Lemmy posts.

Fixed a crash when posting an image from the tooot mobile app.

Updated FreeBSD rc script: the server process is now managed by the daemon(8) utility (contributed by @stefano@bsd.cafe).

RSS feeds are now in 2.0 version instead of 0.91.
