After three months and 1.6k posts later on snac, I'm super happy. Main things that I like about running snac for my Fediverse presence:

• Light on resources. I can run this on a potato if I wanted and it would run great (I'm not, but I could.)
• Backups are easy. Tar up the directory. Done.
• Migrations are easy. Install nginx, build snac, untar backup. Done.
• Quirky web interface. It takes a little to get used to it, but it is very functional and it's got character. I thought I would use Phanpy with it more, but I'm not. I enjoy the snac web interface.
• Works (mostly) with Mastodon clients.
• No crazy caching of photos, avatars and other media. This is a really big deal because my disk usage is so much lower than when I ran Mastodon.
• No database. NO DATABASE. So good.
• Fast. snac is really fast doing everything. It's nice.
• @grunfink@comam.es is awesome. Friendly and responsive.

I mean, I'm running mine on a Raspberry Pi Zero2 which is somehow less powerful than a potato and it does run pretty well.

@mookie When I open your snac2 post on the web, through the post link on the originating server, I notice replies are not part of the post/thread. Is that by design? What you are replying to isn't there at all... @grunfink
