Is #snac2 a suitable fedi server for a single-person, daily-driver instance, accessed via mastodon apps, interacting with the wider fediverse?

I /think/ I've mostly seen it deployed as a more write-centric service (for info bots/etc) ... but I could be mistaken.#snac #Fediverse #hosting #selfhosting

I use snac2 with tut command-line client and my web browser. SNAC is currently my only gateway into the Fediverse. It seems to work very well.

I'm currently reading and interacting with a total over 1300 followers and followees, using tag filtering in tut, without any problems. This is a efficient power-user way to rip through posts and filter out what I'm not interested in, so I can find useful and relevant information from thousands of posts per day really quickly.

When I want to see an image in context I'll open the link in the web browser. I like it this way since I can limit my exposure to images, which sometimes turn out to be unsavory. Surprise, right?

I recommend you give it a spin. The backend proxy setup is about the same as if you were going to install Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc., so if you don't like it you can just put one of those other bloated beasts on the proxy port and call it a day.
