+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

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.

@Ovadex I'm packaging GoToSocial - which is compatible with pleroma and Mastodon AND uses even less resources than pleroma does. If you wanna test, I can link you

[Ovadex]

@murgero Looks interesting but it's probably a bit too green for what I want. Maybe once its filled out some more of the missing features.

[timconsidine]

@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.html

https://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.

@murgero That is awesome! You think it's ready for app store soon?

[murgero]

@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
