I'm happy to announce version 2.21 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in ANSI C. This time there are a bunch of things:
Users can now specify an expire time for the entries in their timelines (both their own and others').
Added support for sending notifications (replies, follows, likes, etc.) via Telegram.
Followers can now be deleted (from the people page in the web interface). Yes, to stop sending in vain your valuable and acute posts to those accounts that disappeared long ago and flood the log with connection errors.
The internal way of processing connections have been rewritten to be more efficient or, as technical people say, "scalable". This way, snac is much faster in processing outgoing connections and less prone to choke on an avalanche of incoming messages. This is a big step towards the secret and real purpose of the creation of this software: being able to host the account of #StephenKing when he finally leaves that other site.
The note action from the command-line tool can also accept the post content from the standard input.
Usage tips: never reply to toxic people (apply the MUTE button to them). Enjoy a coffee. Smell the sea. Listen to Mahler. Spend a bit less time in social media and a bit more with your loved ones.
I think "lightweight" + easy to install is the missing feature for a lot of users who would potentially self host but can't afford infiniti storage for the server
You can see that posts are treated as conversations. The private interface is mostly the same, but you have interactive buttons to Like, Boost, Reply, Follow, etc.
