Just updated to the latest commit from git and I see there is now a scheduled posts feature. Very useful indeed. ;)

    Maybe I move instances too often...

    Anyways, hey y'all. Just set up a new instance myself and am moving away from Mastodon for the time being. I like that it's extremely simple with no JavaScript but still Mastodon API-compatible.

    Some things I enjoy are the , the , and .

      Hi, I apologize for the late reply, I'm busy as heck these days.

      After reading the questions you ask, I don't think will meet your needs. One by one:

      • If A blocks B, B will still see A's posts, unless A's account is private.
      • Reporting is not possible (yet).
      • There is no way to create a local-only post.
      • There is a local instance timeline.
      • There is no federated timeline.
      • There are no moderation tools. The admin can delete a rogue user, that's all.
      • There is no character limit for posts; you can paste Tolstoi's War and Piece in a post, if you like (not that I encourage that).
      • Full instances can be blocked (from the command-line, as it's an admin option).

      So, I'm sorry.

          Pero es que es verdad!. andará muy lindo desde tal o cual aplicación en Android o iOS .. pero en cuanto abrís un perfil en el navegador del móvil: se arrastra!.

          Es increíble la cantidad de porquería que tiene que cargar el navegador para poder acceder al contenido en ActivityPub mientras que logra lo mismo con un uso mínimo de recursos! Sin cookies, sin JavaScript, sin estupideces .. solo una implementación sensata y buen código!

          Gracias @grunfink@comam.es 🤗

              Oh. Thanks for elaborating on this, I had no idea. I seem to recall having used hard links on an sshfs, but my memory is faulty and maybe I'm mistaken.

              So, please everyone, don't use on an sshfs mount.

                Hard links do work in an sshfs-mounted filesystem (not that I've tested inside one).

                            With instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like etc.

                              Hi, author here. The server only exits cleanly (i.e. showing the "httpd stop..." log message) if it receives a TERM or INT signal. Do you have something like a monitoring program that may be interrupting it on some condition, like using more memory that expected or something like that?

                              You can also increase the logging level to 2, it may tell something more.

                                Added browser caching over my instance, for better user experience with all the files being proxied from other instances. Apache configs (requires enabling mod_headers if you don't have it already):

                                    <If "%{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^/[^/]+/(s|x|y)/.+$# || %{REQUEST_URI} =~ m#^.*\.ico$#">

                                            I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.74 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes a lot of web UI translations by lovely people and a bit of minor tweaks and fixes:

                                            Added Spanish (default, Argentina and Uruguay) translation (contributed by gnemmi).

                                            Added Czech translation (contributed by pmjv).

                                            Added Brazilian Portuguese translation (contributed by daltux).

                                            Added Finnish translation (contributed by inz).

                                            Added French translation (contributed by Popolon).

                                            Added Russian translation (contributed by sn4il).

                                            Added Chinese translation (contributed by mistivia).

                                            Added German translation (contributed by zen and Menel).

                                            Added Greek translation (contributed by uhuru).

                                            Added Italian translation (contributed by anzu).

                                            Mastodon API: added support for /api/v1/custom_emojis (contributed by violette).

                                            Improved Undo+Follow logic (contributed by rozenglass).

                                            Reverted (temporarily) the Markdown code that converted text between underscores to italics, because it was causing more problems that what it was worth.

                                            Fixed bug in bookmark CSV import.

                                            Don't indent Twitter-like "threads" (i.e. chains of short posts from the same author that are self-replies).

                                                  I've performed some tests, and it's great. and are working great together - now with caching of media and json responses, to scale up, and up, and up...and up!
                                                  is the best tool for caching, but the setup I've tested doesn't require it and it's still good enough.
                                                  I think this will be a blog post, as soon as I'll have enough time.

                                                                  https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27816

                                                                  3 out of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed already! (I guess whatever was slowing down that third one got resolved somehow?)

                                                                  Thanks to you and inz for the continued improvements!

                                                                  It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

                                                                    I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.73 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                                                    Added support for customizing and translating the web UI language via simple .po files. For more information on how to install language files or create new ones, please see snac(8) (the administrator manual).

                                                                    New user support for blocking hashtags from the web UI.

                                                                    The Content-Security-Policy HTTP header is now always sent to disable any JavaScript, instead of just being suggested in the documentation.

                                                                    Image attachments in SVG format are now disabled by default; you can enable them back by setting the enable_svg value to true in server.json.

                                                                    Several fixes (contributed by inz).
