Pleroma
-
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.

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

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.
-
@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

@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.
-
@LoudLemur interesting article "criticising" or describing issues with Pleroma and explaining a 'new' fork
Akkomahttps://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.
-
@murgero That is awesome! You think it's ready for app store soon?
-
@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
