The is growing and we're welcoming more and more new single user instances but can become challenging.

With instances, single user and smaller instances can quickly become federated and grow which is supported by many Fediverse applications like etc.

install & run on - run your own instance in the !

In the last days I often got asked about / as an alternative to and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!

But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of [1] / - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.

is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be , etc!

And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on , my howto [3] might help you out.

My new relay instance in the launched successfully :)

Just added a blog post: As I could see, not everyone was aware of the benefits of using such a service which is especially very important for smaller instances or even single-user instances. So, nothing new in the post - just a recap to summarize the things for newcomers :)

I currently regret most switching from to — fortunately, Snac now supports account migrations, so I’ll be able to switch back soon but it requires migrating me to migrate to another domain, where I then can switch back to this one on snac.
