   I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.66 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
   
   As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.
   
   Some fixes to blocked instances code (posts from them were sometimes shown).
   
   Fixed non-appearing buttons Approve and Discard if the account requesting a follow were being followed.

   This release has been inspired by the songs All Is Lost by #KatieGarfield and All Is Not Lost by #TonyAnderson.

     Hello from my brand new #Snac instance running as a #FastCGI on a cheap shared hosting.. without FastCGI support!
     
     Turns out all you need is good old cgi-fcgi and a starter script. I'll send you a PR with a proper example as soon as possible.
     
     I think this shows how Snac is the cheapest and easiest to install #fediverse server, lowering the bar to self-hosting #privacy friendly instances for schools, group of friends or families.
     
     And using it from #fedilab is just as easy as any other instance.
     
     Thanks for the great work @grunfink@comam.es!

     I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' snac to 2.66 here:
     
     https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/27028/
     
     2 out of 3 of GitHub Actions Continuous Integration checks have passed (and the third is running and hopefully will as well).
     
     As in the past, I don't have commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.
     
     Thank you for the continued improvements and bug fixes!

     Hi @grunfink@comam.es and thanks for snac 🙂
     «As many users have asked for it, there is now an option to make the number of followed and following accounts public (still disabled by default). These are only the numbers; the lists themselves are never published.»
     What's the name of this new option? I can't find it in man.

     Is there any particular reason you cannot personally choose to reveal your followed by/following lists? Is it just a philosophical thing? I'm gonna move to snac when I get less lazy, and it'd be a nice thing to have.

     Yes, not showing following/follower counts by default is intentional. It's toxic and converts what should be a conversation place into a popularity contest.
     
     Anyway, since a recent version, you can enable showing these metrics.
