Thank you to @grunfink@comam.es for implementing one of my feature requests in #Snac .
Now if you use your web browser and you get a new follower notification when you visit the notifications page there will now be a follow button next to the notification. To get this feature you need to be running the latest from their git repo.

I've been on this Mastodon instance for over 9 years now.
I keep thinking that I should redecentralise and start my own. But that's a lot of hassle / money for not much advantage.
I might consider it in 2026 for my 10 year anniversary - but I honestly can't think of a compelling reason to move.
@Edent take a look at other software. #GoToSocial, #Ktistec, #Snac. There are options that are much easier to deploy and much less resource intensive.

@nick @admin @hamburg Hello! 1) Yes, this is related to snac. As it's tailored to small instances, it tries to increase their visibility and federation reach by sending posts to all its known instances.
I completely understand that it can feel like spam when many new cities appear, and I'm sorry for the annoyance. This "push" behavior is a feature that could technically be disabled, but we choose to keep it active intentionally.
The reason is that this "discoverability" feature is extremely useful and widely appreciated by users on larger instances. It's often the only way they can find and follow cities that nobody on their instance is following yet. Without it, many cities would simply be invisible.
It's definitely a trade-off, but it's proven to be essential for helping FediMeteo grow and connect across the network.
2) I'll think about it, thank you for your suggestion. The current idea is "what's the weather like now? Ok, what's the trend of the coming days?". Then, if people are interested, they can go deeper and see hour-by-hour details. But I'll re-consider it.
Thank you for your feedback!

1️⃣ Is it a configuration option on #Snac or is any instance using #Snac federating this way? Will it stop, when no one is following any account?
hhmx.de is my single account instance, that i use do develop my own #Fediverse server named #Mammuthus.
At least i noticed an issue, as the #Fedimeteo posts shows up as public (and not unlisted). Fixed now.
But as unlisted posts are used users can just find #Fedimeteo accounts by searching for accounts, right? Not sure, how visible this is... :-)
2️⃣ My approach is currently "what's the weather now, and soon, the next hours?" and just then "the next days"... maybe a poll would be a good idea?
Thanks for your reply.
For this #ThankyouTuesday, I want to give my regards to all those great persons that have contributed to #snac either with donations or code.
You make it possible. Thank you so much.

Lets throw some backlog to gotosocial. seems #snac is done but it isn't going to move posts and media.

Hi Stefano,
i want to mention two things about #Fedimeteo, that i noticed.
1️⃣ On hhmx.de i follow one account @hamburg@de.fedimeteo.com
But it looks like a lot of more cities will be federated to hhmx.de.
Is this really the case? Any why? Default #Snac behavior?
Could this please be changed? Feels like spam...
2️⃣ The order of information in a post is Current - Forecast Days - Forecast Hours.
For me the order Current - Forecast Hours - Forecast Days appears to be more logical and useful. What do you think?
Thanks in advance for a feedback.

I've just published version 2.84 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. This time, it includes mostly work by great, brilliant fellow developers while I was just sitting in the porch with the cats in my lap and a beer in my hand:
Implemented more scopes to match other ActivityPub implementations (public, unlisted, followers-only and direct message) (contributed by byte).
New icons showing instance and actor failures.
Mastodon API: Added remote accounts follow metrics and statuses when viewing profiles (contributed by Stefano Marinelli), fixed post deletion.
Fixed outbox collection (contributed by byte).
New file FEDERATION.md (contributed by andypiper).
Updated Czech, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese translations (contributed by pmjv and daltux).
Fixed manpage typos (contributed by r-ricci).

A lot of new great stuff, but this one is awesome: visibility scopes! Wooohoo!!
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.
