How do people feel about Akkoma? It seems to be a fork of pleroma that’s been showing up in comments lately. If you’ve tried it please share your experience.
Is apparently The main choice for using a single user microblogging platform as it can run on minimal resources unlike mastodon without reading of any features (it has more than mastodon AFAIU).
Gotosocial might be the better choice for single user instances.
I run Akkoma myself and it is nice overall, but I was surprised how relatively resource heavy it is. Lightweight is relative, and it is lightweight compared to Mastodon only.
I think the main advantage of Akkoma over other options is the extreme customizability of it.
I had forgotten about this one! I know very little about it though … really appreciate the minimalistic approach.
Perhaps in a similar boat would be microblog.pub which might be preferable for people who want to hack their instance and are more comfortable with python, or want indieweb compatibility too.
I really like Akkoma, it has a nice style and I like being able to react and quote post. It’s also more customizable than Mastodon and has markdown
I ran a Pleroma instance for a while. I gave up because the application support wasn’t great. Now I run a mastodon instance - and the app support is much better. The resource usage is a non-issue.
But most Mastodon apps can work with Pleroma too…
yeah, but missing quotes and emoji reactions, which are half of the fun
But if you move to Mastodon you can’t dо that anyway
but pleroma and firefish can…
Bro, you can’t see who I was repying to or what? The original comment poster said they moved from Pleroma to Mastodon because Pleroma had poor app support
yes, and you said pleroma works in mastodon apps, and i said yes but at the cost of features
what’s the problem?
They claim to (and some aren’t horrific), but they don’t work as well. So far, nothing beats Mona and Mastodon - hands down.
I love it solely for the LWA reference
