| Snac2 is not a direct replacement for [[https://mastodon.bsd.cafe|BSD Cafe's original Mastodon instance]] but serves as a lightweight alternative for individual users or small communities. It is designed for simple self-hosting and offers a different philosophy from Mastodon, focusing on minimal resource usage. To get an account on [[https://snac.bsd.cafe|snac.bsd.cafe]], contact [[https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano|@stefano@bsd.cafe]] (via Fediverse), @stefano:bsd.cafe (Matrix), or send an email to stefano@bsd.cafe explaining why you're interested in joining our Snac2 instance. | Snac2 is not a direct replacement for [[https://mastodon.bsd.cafe|BSD Cafe's original Mastodon instance]] but serves as a lightweight alternative for individual users or small communities.

| | You can utilize either the minimal Snac2 interface or one of the Mastodon apps, although not all apps are compatible. [[https://tusky.app/|Tusky, available on Android]], functions well, and many web applications perform effectively whether accessed through a browser or installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA). [[https://phanpy.social/|Phanpy]], [[https://enafore.social/|Enafore]], and [[https://elk.zone|Elk]] (but not only) appear to be quite compatible with Snac2. |

| Currently, Snac2 does not support (easy) migration of accounts within the Fediverse. Additionally, accounts inactive for six months will be deleted to keep the instance clean and lightweight. This policy is necessary due to Snac2's use of text files instead of a database, which can become burdensome as content increases. The retention policy for posts (timeline_purge_days for external posts and local_purge_days for local users' posts) will initially be set to 120 and 180 days, respectively, to maintain server efficiency. | <del>Currently, Snac2 does not support (easy) migration of accounts within the Fediverse.</del> Accounts inactive for six months will be deleted to keep the instance clean and lightweight.
