Pleroma

[A Former User]

@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

[doodlemania2]

@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/miscellaneous

Nextcloud 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!

[jdaviescoates]

Did you ever start packaging this @doodlemania2 ?

[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!

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 life has a habit of doing that!

Sengi is a nifty desktop client that will connect to both fediverse server types

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.

@Ovadex You can modify the mastodon packaged repo by updating it to akkoma fork, benefiting from the work already done.

@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.

[Ovadex]

@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.
