One of the problems with the fediverse(s) is that there are in fact cash costs to compute share, and we can't wave it away with VC and ad revenue. There's no economy of scale and complete self-hosting costs hundreds/month even if your admin&mod team is volunteers.

Which is why I'm really keen to see Canadian-built SMEs like https://GoFedi.com joining https://FediHost.co offering pocket-change-coffee-money price points for managed hosts!

they do the sysops, you manage your instance.

With #snac2 you can host your own fediverse instance on the cheapest shared hosting.

I've just updated my #Snac instance to version 2.84 👍 🎉
A lot of new great stuff, but this one is awesome: visibility scopes! Wooohoo!!

#snac2 2.84 with visibility scopes has been released!!

there’s also this thing that narrowly missed a release window if anyone wants an option to change it in reply -

current implementation only allows replying to the original post with the same visibility scope. this PR allows to decrease the reach. so it's more convenient to reply with a private message while preserving the context of the conversation, for example. or reply privately if you have an accoun...

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.

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.

Are you in #tech and running your own #Fediverse instance? You might want to join an Activity Pub relay instance!

My relay at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com has currently 139 instances connected, mostly tech related sharing the same mindset and interests like #Linux, #BSD, #Ansible, #Proxmox, #Coding, and many more! You can easily join from your instance when using #Pleroma, #snac ( #snac2), #Mastodon and its forks 🙂

@stefano Hola! Here's the discussion on #snac2 about performance on slow computers, and the user inz has a patch set that has made a fair bit of difference on my 486 (though I don't have solid numbers on how much - when monitoring becomes more taxing than the service itself, etc..)

You mentioned testing this on fedimeteo? :)

Hello world?

I finally bit the bullet and spun up my own instance. I've picked a fun domain name that others might end up enjoying too, but for now it's just me, myself, and I.

It's running on #Snac2 on a Hetzner (ARM64!) instance in Germany, so the connection is a bit slow for me as I live in Asia, but should be fine for most everyone else I suppose. I could have put it on a Vultr instance, but this'll do for now.

Other than this.. nothing new to report? You may know me from the #BitBang #Mastodon instance, but since I've been wanting to give self-hosting a try, I figured now is as good a time as any to actualy try.

Now onto figuring out everything else surrounding self-hosting something like this 😅.

Do say hi, if you'd like!
