You can see who accepted to be followed as they will have a mutual icon next to their profile name and likewise if you click on someone's profile link in your people tab you can see their metrics.

Right I have successfully updated my #fediverse link on the footer of my blog and on my #git repo to point to my #snac instance here. I have also managed to successfully verify my git and blog URL's on my Bio too. Like I said I'm easily pleased.๐Ÿ˜„

I basically just downloaded my following.csv and imported it as per this doc which imported all the great folk I follow. The rest was starting a fresh and importing all your followers from Mastodon is not yet possible but never say never. If I fully move I will just pin a post and update the Bio on my old instance to tell everyone where I'm at now.

You're very welcome and thank you so much for snac.

 

So I've been running my own #Snac instance for the past week and I have to say that I'm actually loving it. It hardly takes up any resources and the inbuilt web interface is easily configurable with nothing more than #CSS .
There are some things that folk used to running #Mastodon might not like. For example it does not show any follower or following numbers to any instances. So people using Mastodon will see 0 followers and 0 following even though those Snac uses may have 100's of followers .
You do get a people tab on the snac interface that is just a list divided into people following you and people you follow but no numbers. This is an intentional design feature by the author @[email protected] who stated.

I haven't implemented a simple count of following / followers on purpose; I consider all metrics in network media inherently toxic, because it's a way of comparing the relative success of people. This is also why, as seen from other Fediverse implementations, snac accounts always report 0 / 0 connections.

Also not all features work with android / iOS apps but most of the essentials do. I occasionally use #Tusky when I'm not just using the web interface for Snac which I just find easier. I think I will be staying with this fantastic lightweight piece of software and look forward to see what new features get added in the future. A wish would be to have a way of importing followers from Mastodon to Snac, which I think the dev is working on at the moment. Oh and I nearly forgot to say that you can import the CSV file of people that you are following through the command line and it's fairly simple to do too. I'd 100% recommended giving Snac a try if you're looking for a no nonsene lightweight #Fediverse instance.

Any of clever folk out there fancy helping me out by making me a 32x32 png ( No background ) mono image of the #Fediverse logo using the same colour as this image on my website ?
The reason is I'm going to update the footer on my site to point to my new #snac instance which is not Mastodon. So I thought the fediverse logo in the same style would be perfect. I cannot remember how I came about the other images in the same colour ? Searching about I cannot find similar matches.

The Fediverse logo for reference.
