After getting to try the #Snac activity pub server developed by @grunfink@comam.es on bsd.cafe thanks @stefano@bsd.cafe , I'm kind of tempted to spin up my own instance. Anyone here other than Stefano that runs their own instance ? Please share you pro's and con's plus any workarounds you have come up with.
Also how are you viewing / posting on mobile ? Are you just sticking with web or using the likes of #Tusky ?

@justine@bsd.cafe @stefano@bsd.cafe @grunfink@comam.es I've been tinkering with snac on a private instance, along with other ActivityPub servers like BookWyrm, and snac is much less of a production to set up.

I admit to being old school, but I'd expect the setup of a mail server to be harder than a Fedi service. When I first looked at the process to set up a Mastodon server, and I've been in IT a while and set up my share of services, my reaction was, "Are you sh***ing me?"

@justine@bsd.cafe @stefano@bsd.cafe @grunfink@comam.es snac is great, small, fs only, easy to build, easy to run, easy to backup and even runs without issues on slow hardware or even untypical hardware. I compiled it for RISC-V where it easily runs on my VisionFive board.

I’m running snac for a week now, on FreeBSD via Caddy reverse proxy. Runs great. Some minor issues with compatibility with mastodon, my replies are not always seen as replies by people on mastodon. Most iOS mastodon apps have some issues, like random duplicate posts. Generally only minor things.

@normis@s.dodies.lv Thank you for sharing this information. When you say some replies don't show up as replies on Mastodon, Do they show up as a new post or not at all ?
