After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @grunfink@comam.es on bsd.cafe thanks @stefano@bsd.cafe , I’m kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their own instance ? Please share you pro’s and con’s plus any workarounds you have come up with.
Also how are you viewing / posting on mobile ? Are you just sticking with web or using the likes of #Tusky ?
#Fediverse #ActivityPub
I’m running snac for a week now, on FreeBSD via Caddy reverse proxy. Runs great. Some minor issues with compatibility with mastodon, my replies are not always seen as replies by people on mastodon. Most iOS mastodon apps have some issues, like random duplicate posts. Generally only minor things.

@normis@s.dodies.lv Thank you for sharing this information. When you say some replies don’t show up as replies on Mastodon, Do they show up as a new post or not at all ?
@stefano@bsd.cafe
@normis@s.dodies.lv @justine@bsd.cafe yes, I can confirm that Mastodon seems to stick with the @ mention, and fails to always understand when this is missing. Tusky is adding it itself, so using Tusky with snac will produce a Mastodon-like behavior
@stefano@bsd.cafe @normis@s.dodies.lv I have noticed though that private messages that have been started via another source like the snac web app don’t show under the #Tusky private messages tab but display in the feed showing a padlock.
@justine@bsd.cafe @normis@s.dodies.lv Interesting. I’ll try to test it further
Hi, Justine. Yes, the private messages tab (the padlock one) in Mastodon client apps like Tusky does not work (yet).

@grunfink@comam.es That’s OK was just posting to let others know too. Thank you so much for making #snac I’m loving exploring what’s possible and may even spin up my own instance ? 😍

Thank would be great! The more #snacizens out there, the better.
