This is valuable, thanks for sharing.
Also, I think it's important to remember that #snac also allows following hashtags by those RSS feeds provided by several Fediverse implementations (like Mastodon), avoiding the need of subscribing to a relay. E.g., you can add https://mastodon.social/tags/snac to the followed hashtags field, and it will periodically poll that RSS from the big instance and add to your timeline those posts tagged with #snac.

If what 'split domains' mean is "running #snac in subdomain.example.com but identify as accounts from example.com" then no, it's not supported.
But, you can have snac running from a subdirectory of your main domain (which, as far as I know, no other fediverse implementation does). I.e. you can have your snac root in example.com/social and then you can identify as you@example.com . So you have no unnecessary subdomain just to be you.
Which is what I do for this very domain.

I've just published version 2.92 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:
Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_inbox_collection is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because it seems to be used for harrasing people.
Changed default: for newly created instances, disable_history is set to true (see snac(8) for more information). The reason is because archived history files don't reflect reality after posts are deleted or modified (they always have been an ugly kludge).
Changed default: in previous versions, posts with a scope of unlisted were shown in public pages and RSS feeds. Now, they are no longer shown. If you want to get back to previous behaviour, use a new toggle in the User Settings section (see snac(1) for more information).
New admin configuration option: if the purge_static value is set to true in server.json, each user's static directory is explored and those files there that are no longer attached to any post or referenced anywhere are deleted. See snac(8) for more information about those cases where you may not want to enable this option.
Allow serving files from subdirectories of the static/ subdirectory (contributed by la_ninpre).
Minor tweak to webfinger code to handle Hubzilla's peculiarities.
Fixed a search case where URLs to GotoSocial statuses were misidentified as accounts.
Accounts that follow you are now marked with a thumb-up emoji, because followers are adorable people.
Fixed some account export errors.
Fixed an incorrect hash in post links.
Show an account's location link in the people page, if they have one.
Mastodon API: Fixed hashtags loosing the link after editing a post, minor tweak in access token processing (contributed by trondd555).
Drop usage of PATH_MAX (contributed by sergiodj).
New Polish translation (contributed by kpm).
Updated German and Czech translations (contributed by zen and pmjv).

Also I think it would be even cooler if it was a CGI binary
#snac is not a native CGI program, but it supports FastCGI. With a bit of work, it can be set up to behave as pure CGI. More information:
