unfortunately, afaik you don't get push notifs via the masto api, so you either have to poll, or get them via ntfy.sh/telegram/email

"If you want to be in the Fediverse without relying on big intances, or if you just want to own your #data & #identity on the network, running your own instance is the way to go.
That is where Mastodon alternatives such as GoToSocial & #snac comes in.
snac (Social Networks Are Crap) is a minimalistic, lightweight #ActivityPub instance…perfect for single user instances or small communities, and it's so light that even a #RaspberryPi can handle it without breaking a sweat."

Given #snac's low bar requirements, I think any modern web browser is fine. I use Firefox, but totally agree on the heavy side (I have an unresolved love+hate relation with Firefox). I don't recommend any Chrome-based solution, because Google (though snac works great there).

I wish a small web browser (even a text-mode one!) with support for summary / details existed. In fact, if I ever develop another web app (a case that is probably not going to happen), I would not rely on this functionality.

What is Snac?

It supports creating and managing user accounts, posting, following, and interacting with the wider Fediverse. It also includes a Mastodon-compatible API for use with third-party clients.

IMO: It is the best option for people who wants to self-host their own Fediverse instance.

What is YunoHost

YunoHost is an operating system aiming to simplify server administration and therefore democratize self-hosting while making sure it stays reliable, secure, ethical and lightweight. It is a copylefted libre software project maintained by volunteers. Technically, it can be seen as a server distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux.

Waiting approval, here's the PR https://github.com/YunoHost/apps/pull/3375

Few more adjust and I will submit to the main #YunoHost appmarket place

#snac por otra parte fue más simple y rápido, no tiene una gran estética pero siempre me ha funcionado bien

The difference from other Mastodon API clients is that this one has #snac as a first class citizen.

I'm so glad!

Attention #GoToSocial people: I have been testing @mastoblaster - an iOS Fediverse client - and it's working SO WELL! It's even grouping GtS notifications... something that Ivory doesn't do.

Congratulations @stefano for your brilliant work on it!

Sin entrar en muchos detalles:
0. Elegir un nombre de dominio que os haga únicos: carnecruda.radio o carnecrudaradio.es o ... lo que sea.
1. Contrata un servidor en la red donde instalar el servidor ActivityPub (el protocolo base sobre el que funciona Mastodon); a vosotros os vendría muy bien tener otros servicios que funcionan como él porque no sois una mera red social. Asignáis el dominio al servidor y ...
2. Diseña cómo quieres la arquitectura: una cuenta única es buena sólo para primeros contactos o para anuncios. En vuestro caso una cuenta por cada uno de los que tenéis allí, que puedan expresarse sobre lo que sean y, dado que el límite de cuentas es muy lejano, una por cada sección o por cada invitado más o menos regular.
3. Migráis los seguidores y seguidos de la cuenta de ahora en mastodon.online @carnecrudaradio@mastodon.online a la cuenta base como @carnecruda@carnecruda.radio o cualquier cosa sencilla de recordar.
4. Comenzáis a publicar y a seguir (y tal vez a bloquear) a personas de otras servidores.
5. Y ya, lo demás es ponerse a construir una red y dejar que crezca y crezca y vaya por ahí haciendo cosas.

Sigue consultando porque aquí hay personal muy válido para estos detalles.

Y, ojo, esto sin saber si tenéis más contenido. Los podcasts, se me ocurre, pueden estar alojados en funkwhale, otro software libre y del fediverso con el que conectar. Hay muchas más opciones pero yo diría que lo principal es el dominio y luego el servidor. Y de ahí a las estrellas. 🙂

#fediverse

EDIT: Build 68 should also run on iOS 18.x but it currently crashes. I'll see if I can fix it.

After quite some time, I’m finally ready to share this.

MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

What makes it different:
• snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
• Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
• EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
• Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
• Markdown posting for snac
• Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
• Blocking and moderation tools
• Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

Important note:
MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

Stay tuned.

Also, thanks to: byte, dandelions, oxzi, davidrv00, ag-eitilt, pmjv, zen, daltux and anyone else I may have missed for contributing to this release!

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.90 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31230

1 of 3 GitHub Continuous Integration checks completed successfully.

Fingers crossed the other two go off without a hitch. If so, it's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

Regarding an OpenBSD package, I'm sure it would be very easy to do. OpenBSD for me is first class, and #snac works great there.

Of course I'm using #snac on my blog posting bot. Still the best software to self host :)

I would even host it at home, but it seems like huge parts of the Fediverse are IPv4-only, and #ActivityPub behind Dual-Stack Lite doesn't sound like fun.

Next up in a new #FediMerch store is #snac merchandise! I had to grab my own set of stickers for this one, the artwork is so cool!

You've got Susie, snac's default icon embedded in a QR code. And then this ridiculously amazing artwork from @prahou that is just a must have for your sticker collection - or on a shirt - or mug. Just get it!
