Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
sigh #Takahe and #Snac2 are both able to message #RSSParrot and get a response with the relevant feed, but neither seems to be able to follow the generated feeds.
Note to future self: Try again when I’m more awake and can look at some logs, then file bug reports where applicable.
(I should note that the authors of all three pieces of software have been very helpful in debugging and fixing compatibility issues with other platforms.)
#
Getting intermittent #segfault crashes on the admin page for #snac2. I submitted as much debug info as I could get:
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/issues/147
Also posting here in case someone having the same issue looks on the fediverse first before going to Codeberg.

A week later…
So, to follow up on this: It was crashing on a several-hundred-post-long thread. It seems to be specific to musl, since Grunfink’s test server linked against glibc was able to generate the HTML…eventually. And setting a nesting limit of 48 seems to fix the problem.

Rather than continue to clutter up this timeline with random “hmm, I wonder if I can do this on my system…nope, doesn’t work” posts, I’ve set up a #snac2 account so I can both separate my blathering and, well, test Snac2 again. It’s here: @KelsonTalksTech
Realized that my tinkering with #GoToSocial, #Takahe, #CalcKey and #Snac2, continuing to use #Pixelfed, #Lemmy and #Bookwyrm, and looking for compatibility problems are part of the same impulse that had me trying out every web browser I could find in the early 2000s and deliberately using Firefox and Opera on Linux as my daily drivers instead of IE on Windows.
It's a drop in the ocean, but it's my push for interoperability over #monoculture.
#Fediverse #BrowserWars
Fediverse single-user software testing so far:
Mastodon (deactivated) – about what I expected, same as being on another server except it’s faster, quieter, and needs a bigger VPS that feels justified.
GoToSocial (here!) – I like the simplicity of it, and it works great with Pinafore. Going to have to test out Elk or something as a backup. However, it’s early in development and a lot of features aren’t implemented yet.
Calckey ( @kelsonv )- Complete, but also kind of overwhelming.
Snac2 ( @kelsonv@snac.hyperborea.org ) – Extremely bare-bones. Like web 1.0 style. But still talks to the Fediverse!
The big problem I’ve been running into is that while they all seem to interact well with Mastodon, they don’t interact well with other platforms like Pixelfed, or Bookwyrm, or Lemmy, or even each other. So none of them are at the point where I can use it as my main window on the Fediverse, unless I go back and build a new solo Mastodon server.
I cannot find where I saw it mentioned today, but the minimalist ActivityPub server #snac2 by @grunfink looks interesting too.
