Running a small or single user instance in the #Fediverse? Get connected to other instances by a relay!I just adjusted my relay instance which now also finally supports #GoToSocial! Of course, it also supports Pleroma, snac, Mastodon, littlefedi, starling and many other ones!With relays, your own posted content gets distributed to all connected instances, as well you get the content all other instances. Currently, mostly tech related instances are connected, focusing on #Linux, #Proxmox, #BSD / #FreeBSD, #IPv6 and many other things!More information at: https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com#socialmedia #fedi #fediwall #fediverse #activitypub #activitypubrelay #relay #social #snac #snac2 #mastodon #gts #gotosocial #littlefedi #pleroma #misskey #services #devops #starling #tech

MastoBlaster Build 94 is now available on TestFlight.This is a major release that merges several different development branches I've been working on, bringing together a lot of moving parts into a single build. A long, sleepless night…Here is what changed:Full Drafts Support: A complete end-to-end draft flow. It includes auto-save, the ability to edit existing drafts, and a smart cancel confirmation that either discards a new draft or restores the original state if you were editing. It supports replies, quotes, polls, and media metadata.Trending Posts: Added a new trending timeline type with proper offset pagination support.Timeline Position Improvements: Added extra protection to stop SwiftUI from overwriting your saved scroll position when the view disappears or goes to the background. If a saved post can't be found in the cache, the app will now try a direct status fetch before giving up.UI & Navigation Fixes: Tapping Content Warnings (CW), "Show Filtered Post", or "Show More" now goes through an inline-action guard, fixing the bug where tapping them would accidentally trigger row navigation into the thread. Filtered posts also get proper bottom padding so the list separator doesn't sit on top of the button.Instance Compatibility & Tweaks: Added customizable timeout settings for slower instances (like snac on older hardware). I also fixed the 405 error when setting alt text on GoToSocial, and updated marker sync to strictly align with Mastodon’s documented form shape.Testing focus: I've implemented search fixes ensuring queries stay locked to the account you are searching from. If you are on GoToSocial, please test this thoroughly and let me know how it behaves. Since this build is the result of a massive merge, keep an eye out for any regressions.#MastoBlaster #MastoBlasterUpdates #iOS #Mastodon #snac #GoToSocial #Fediverse #Apple

@adele now also tested with snac, fwiw ;-) nice work!

I can confirm that #Tuba is an excellent #Fediverse client for Linux and BSD users on #snac2. It's also great for Mastodon, #GoToSocial, etc.

@bryan@dusty.ninja it’s based on https://github.com/mastodon/webpush-apn-relay but I’ve patched it for proper GoToSocial notifications support.It will depend on how many push notifications it will have to handle. But being stateless, I can always fire up another one and round robin them at DNS level.

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 usageAlt 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.TestFlight link:https://testflight.apple.com/join/Pkxa5R1kStay tuned.#MastoBlaster #iOS #Apple #Fediverse #Mastodon #snac #GoToSocial #Akkoma #ActivityPub

@joel @mastoblaster I think I fixed it. Both notification relay side and app side. I'll publish an updated beta (with other fixes, too) later today.

@silverpill @rayslava @mitra sure, I will. Thank you. I’m not having much time to work on MastoBlaster but I’ll try over the weekend

I've been experimenting with lightweight activitypub tools like gotosocial and snac2.So far snac2 works, but seems incompatible with basically every frontend I've tried.gotosocial is more compatible, but crashes randomly and won't stay online for 24hrs at a time.What am I doing wrong here?Anyone have any tips?#ActivityPub #Fediverse #gotosocial #snac2

@stefano Thank you for the encouraging words, Stefano. Have a wonderful Holiday Season!

@luca how do you solve the DNS and port problem?

My favorite #fediverse platforms are #snac and #GoToSocialChange my mind.
