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.
https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcloud-introduces-social-features-joins-the-fediverse/
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. -
Pleroma is way less resource intensive than Mastodon. Would love to see this app supported. It also has a chat system that works with everyone on the same instance.
-
Still looking forward to this project. MASTODON is clumsy like an elephant, making the server strenuous.

I also note that
While we don’t provide docker files, other people have written very good ones. Take a look at https://github.com/angristan/docker-pleroma or https://glitch.sh/sn0w/pleroma-docker.
-
The 2.0 version was updated a few days ago, and it can replace mastodon well.

@jdaviescoates These dockers seem to be very old and don't seem to work well.

Ah, shame.

@jdaviescoates Here’s something from 9 days ago: https://github.com/goodtiding5/docker-pleroma

I believe 2.0.0 of Pleroma is out.
https://pleroma.social/blog/2020/03/08/releasing-pleroma-2-0-0/
-
As the Mastodon requirements are rising well above 1GB of memory, Pleroma is becoming more relevant
-
@yusf I think it's definitely worth looking at. I believe it includes the Mastodon web front end as well as its own web client.
If I knew what I was doing I'd try to package it but I don't have my own Cloudron server up and running yet. -
Happy to look at packaging it for you. May need some testers. Currently tilting between seatable and this as my next attempt.
+@mehdi just FYI -
-
I'm not going to package these myself (because they are not apps that I would use myself). However, I would be glad to give a hand if someone tries to package it and runs into problems
-
@mehdi - was just CCing you for awareness I may give it a go and bug you for assistance like we did with pixelfed

+1 for Pleroma as an more resource-efficient alternative to Mastodon.

Plemora is ressource effective but it is not the only project compatible with ActivePub
https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneousNextcloud Talk, WriteFreely, and Plume also speak ActivePub aka Mastodon
-
@jodumont I know. My own project https://learnawesome.org/ is listed there. I presented it at ActivityPub conference in October.

Great project BTW
-
@doodlemania2 Count me in too. Am new here and am looking for Pleroma support. Thanks!
-
Did you ever start packaging this @doodlemania2 ?
-
@jdaviescoates sidelined by life unfortunately. I still owe everyone another stab at nextcloud talk high perf backend which is still on my plate. Hopefully soon!
-
@doodlemania2 life has a habit of doing that!

Sengi is a nifty desktop client that will connect to both fediverse server types
https://nicolasconstant.github.io/sengi/ -
Four years running on this. I hope it can come to fruition soon as I want to make an instance but would rather use Pleroma (more so the akkoma fork) instead of mastodon since it's much more kind on resources and has several features I prefer.
I'd love to use Cloudron to set it up but if the timeline of this thread is an indicator I might be better off just trying to set up Akkoma via docker.
-
@heliostatic Pleroma is a good suggestion.
I believe Pleroma sprang into being as a result of Social Justice Warriors taking over and banning people from Mastodon. From what I know of Pleroma, it tends to have users that are more based.
What I would like to hear is how Pleroma compares with Element, and why people would rather use Pleroma than Matrix.
-
@robi I never even considered that as a possibility. Hopefully it's simple to do as I'm not a developer. lol
@LoudLemur I don't really see the two being all that comparable.
Matrix is more akin to Discord. There are separate rooms and voice/video chat. It's not really a micro-blogging platform.

@LoudLemur interesting article "criticising" or describing issues with Pleroma and explaining a 'new' fork
Akkoma
https://coffee-and-dreams.uk/development/2022/06/24/akkoma.htmlhttps://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma/src/branch/develop
I noticed it because
Disroot
(https://disroot.org/en) have announced they are adopting Akkoma.No point really. Just sharing and maybe it suggests attention on packaging Pleroma is not wise. Others may disagree.
-
@yusf It's been REALLY stable, but there are a couple small upstream bugs. That said once I finish rewriting the automated tests (requirement for store submission) I plan to put it up. You can install and test it right now though by following the instructions in the repo though
-
@timconsidine I have understood from several users that Akkoma is a good choice for self hosting single user servers for the Fediverse. I would love to see a package for Cloudron with it.

@carlheath said in Pleroma:

Create an App Wishlist post for it?
