Pleroma
-
An activity pub implementing federated social network (like Mastodon): https://pleroma.social/
Has the advantage of being written in elixir and having very light server requirements vs Mastodon.

I would love to see Pleroma (and the LitePub relay) in the app store. Federated social sites using open, distributed protocols are a great alternative to sites like Facebook and Twitter.
I set up an instance last night and, while it's much easier than Mastodon in all respects, the availability of a Cloudron package would send me over the moon. I'd really enjoy telling everyone who's disenchanted with FB/Twitter, "Roll your own at Cloudron!"
-
Definitely. I run a Mastodon instance and it's pretty resource intensive. Pleroma (and the LitePub relay) would be a great fit for Cloudron.
-
Pleroma just hit version 1.0 so that might be a new reason to consider it.
-
Just to note: Nextcloud natively supports ActivityPub now. It has a beta UI to interact with Pleroma, Mastodon, etc etc.

Just enable the Nextcloud Social plugin to get started.

@murgero That's interesting! But then the Nextcloud app would need to be installed too the root domain or else the id would become something like
nextcloud.domain.tld. There need to be some kind of native root domain support for federation IDs in Cloudron.
-
@yusf Cloudron supports installing apps to the root domain, Nextcloud I believe would fall into that as well. As for Federation ID's this would be handled by Nextcloud, not Cloudron.
-
@murgero Yes, that's what I'm saying too. But that also means you need to have frigging NextCloud as your domain's main service. More usually users wants a web site at that localtion.
