This ultra-minimalist server reminds me of an old Web 1.0 guestbook (minus the garish backgrounds and colors). And yet it not only lets you post text and images and follow people on other servers...it interacts just fine with Mastodon, PixelFed, GoToSocial etc. while using hardly any RAM or processing power. Very low admin tax, especially compared to Mastodon. A great choice for a small group or single-person Fediverse presence.

What is snac?

A simple, minimalistic ActivityPub instance written in portable C

This program runs as a daemon (proxied by a TLS-enabled real httpd server) and provides the basic services for a Fediverse / ActivityPub instance (sharing messages and stuff from/to other systems like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc.).

FEATURES:

  • Lightweight, minimal dependencies
  • Extensive support of ActivityPub operations, e.g. write public notes, follow users, be followed, reply to the notes of others, admire wonderful content (like or boost), write private messages...
  • Multiuser
  • Mastodon API support, so Mastodon-compatible apps can be used
  • Simple but effective web interface
  • Easily-accessed MUTE button to silence morons
  • Tested interoperability with related software
  • No database needed
  • Totally JavaScript-free
  • No cookies either
  • Not much bullshit
