nadiyar.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social @stefano@bsd.cafe I have been contemplating moving from Mastodon to #snac2 for a while now – will there be a detailed comparison of #littleFedi to other AP servers at some point?
@stefano @AnachronistJohn @jspath55
I don’t think we should frame this in terms of being “competitors.” Developing software can be fun, and it is also part of the learning process.
I forked GoToSocial to create Aktor because I wanted to add features that, in my opinion, were missing.
Now I’m carefully studying the #snac2 code and developing something similar in Ada/SPARK. Why? Because it’s fun, and because I wanted to refresh my Ada skills.
So why call us “competitors”? What would be the point? Where exactly is the market in which we are supposed to be competing?
I think we should stop fighting and try to cooperate instead. The Fediverse is not going to build itself, and I don’t see the point of implementing federation in software if the people developing it refuse to federate with one another and choose to “compete” instead.

There are nice things in this "timeline", so let's find opportunities to be grateful!
I love that the #snac2 server surfaces if someone has blocked me. I get a nice notification that I was blocked every so often -- but there is one person that I am well aware of whenever they change instances (and they do it often enough that I notice) who blocks me each time.
I might not be famous, but I guess I'm infamous! Whee!
Markdown is only supported in the Hometown and GlitchSocial forks of Mastodon. Vanilla Mastodon will probably never have it, because they're going for that classic Twitter UX, for better or for worse.
Many non-Mastodon fedi servers like #GtS and #snac2 support #Markdown.
I don't know about Friendica, *oma, and *key, though.
can anyone comment on how good, or not good, search (for posts) is between self-hosted fedi platform apps good for single-user servers, such as #Snac2, #Mitra, #GoToSocial, #Bonfire, etc?
I am looking for search which is actually usable by someone who wishes to find things and perhaps sort what's found, unlike that provided by e.g. Mastodon, Akkoma, etc.
Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.
What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

Edit: did I mention I always build from latest commit but never caught any bug :)
snac is rather awesome software. It's lightweight, exceedingly fast and just works.
Thanks @grunfink@comam.es (and other contributors to the project).
I'm running snac/2.92-dev.
I notice that in the notifications page that the 'clear all' button does not function. Is anyone else having this issue?
