Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.

#selfhosting #activitypub

@beachcomber@social.leecalvin.xyz both @alephoto85@snac.bobadin.icu and especially @giacomo@snac.tesio.it have been using it for a long time.

Yes, and I find it quite good.

And to run it as a #FastCGI, you don't even need a VPS: a cheap shared hosting supporting #CGI will run #snac2 just fine! https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

That's why I prefer it to gotosocial.
Also I try to avoid #Go as much as possible cause it's a #Google's thing.

Snac is written in a pretty readable (and a bit clever, sometimes) #C.
And if you know C even a little bit, it's really worth a read.

@giacomo@snac.tesio.it @informapirata@mastodon.uno @beachcomber@social.leecalvin.xyz @alephoto85@snac.bobadin.icu Snac2 is great. The only thing that got me back at hosting a full mastodon instance was because I wanted to use a mastodon mobile app fully. So it depend how you intend to use it :)

But like I just said; a mastodon app. Snac2 is not Mastodon. It has, howerver, a "compatibility" mastodon API. It was just not enough for me personally.

But beside that; Snac2 is really a game changer. Stable, reliable and low on memory/cpu usage.
