In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon 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 https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld. #opensource #fediverse #fediworld #alternatives #community #FreeBSD #RUNBSD #BoxyBSD #activitypub #mastodon #relay #community #federated https://gyptazy.com/install-snac2-on-freebsd-an-activitypub-instance-for-the-fediverse/ |

Föderation EN Mo 27.01.2025 21:33:49 @gyptazy The idea of a relay is new to me! Is this a new thing for the Fediverse? 🙂 |

Föderation EN Di 28.01.2025 06:27:28 Relays in general are already available for a longer time and there’re also many ones available. My relay instance is new - it popped up of an idea when I saw many new #snac instances and someone showed relay links. I wouldn’t have thought that my relay instance would grow that quick, so I’m happy to see this gets appreciated by the community :) |

Föderation EN Mi 29.01.2025 01:33:48 @gyptazy That’s cool! I am self-hosting on a RPi and thinking about running snac. I don’t know how I missed fedi relays. I’ve been exploring the Fediverse organically. I use Toot, which allows you to see local and federated timelines of servers (even if you don’t have an account). I wondered how small instances could thrive without this app feature. Now I know! 😊 |

Föderation DE Mo 27.01.2025 22:21:51 @gyptazy maybe it would be nice to upgrade blog post with snac from packages?l |
|
Föderation DE Di 28.01.2025 06:21:18 fair enough, that post is a already a bit older where snac wasn’t in the packages - I just shared this again because snac becomes more and more popular. |
