Independent photo sharing
An Instagram Alternative You Own
Instagram can be where people find you. It does not have to be where your photography lives. SnapSmack gives your work a chronological home on your own domain.
Your archive is not rented space
A social account is permission to decorate somebody else's database. A SnapSmack site is a personal photography website: your hosting, your database, your files, your domain.
There is no algorithm deciding which post deserves daylight. Publish one image or a thirty-image carousel and it appears in the order you chose.
Familiar photography, independent machinery
GRAMOFSMACK provides the square grid, multiple-image posts, carousels, reactions, comments, albums, and collections people understand. It is not a claim of Instagram feature parity. It is the useful photographic part, rebuilt as independent photo sharing.
The joy of the old web. Without the old software.
- Chronological photo feed with no suggested-post detours
- Original captions, tags, dates, and files under your control
- Export and backup tools instead of platform lock-in
- Optional Fediverse reach without surrendering the canonical copy
Social can point home
SnapSmack can federate your public work across the Fediverse. People on compatible services can discover, follow, like, boost, and reply while the canonical photograph stays on your site.
