Snac2 is a simple database-less/javascript-free alternative to Mastodon:

codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2

It looks very nice to run your own server

There are some screenshots here:

Is anybody using it?

@ploum

See bsd.cafe and @stefano - they have instances running on snac, and they seem pretty happy with it!

@ParadeGrotesque : I’ve probably heard about it through @stefano ’s blog. Very nice blog, I like it !

I'm using it and I'm extremely happy with it.

Föderation · Do 20.03.2025 23:50:03

I run an instance with about twenty users on it. If it weren't for snac I would not be on the fediverse at all.

Föderation · Do 20.03.2025 23:58:31

It's really nice, super fast, elegant design.

Föderation · Fr 21.03.2025 00:16:42

Je l'utilise car je voulais quelque chose de simple à installer, sans base de données, et être maitre de mes données. C'est excellent, j'adore :)

C'est pas parfait car snac n'a pas toute l'API de Mastodon, donc parfois faut réussir à se débrouiller autrement, et on peut rater des messages. Mais je m'en accommode facilement.

Föderation EN Fr 21.03.2025 00:19:35

@ploum I haven’t migrated my personal instance yet I run it on n4no.org . It’s also perfect when you just want to setup an independent bot on its own domain.

@ploum eXO l’utilise et on dirait que c’est très ecolobits :)

@bmarne@fediscience.org @ploum@mamot.fr depending on your use case, preferences, habits, it can suit you or not.
In my case : nope.

@ploum@mamot.fr I enjoy snac, very light, and works well enough for me. There are a few inconveniences here and there, but I'm slowly patching them up on my instance, and upstreaming them when appropriate. Might want to throw https://git.freesoftwareextremist.com/bloat as a frontend to snac for a slightly more "modern" experience, but I usually just use snac plain. If you face any problems or have more questions, I may be able to help :)

Föderation · Fr 21.03.2025 20:24:25

I also use and I really like it. 🙋

By the way, according to FediList, there are 226 Instances in the fediverse!

In fact, @voron@no.run.place is one of the responsibles of looking beautiful and professional due to their awesome CSS themes.

@ploum It runs on ridiculously low-end hardware, too. One of my #snac2 instances runs on a 486. :D

Föderation EN Sa 22.03.2025 11:08:15

Right, it even runs without any issues on slow hardware like my board.

If anyone is looking for compiled bins of snac for

This delights me in irrational ways. Especially compared to the "you want to run Mastodon? It wants 4+GB of RAM, a gazillion different processes, docker containers, and scads of disk-space", is refreshingly svelte

Föderation EN Sa 22.03.2025 16:45:32

Not only a million of different processes but also (hopefully maintained) libraries and dependencies. snac simply requires ssl and curl - ezyyyy

I'm using on a powered 4 along with other services of mine that I . So far it's only me on the instance. Maybe my wife will join later, who knows...

No raspberry pi for mine though, running as a Jail on a NUC
