I’d use gotosocial over mastodon/*key for self-hosting. I heard masto/*keys are pretty heavy to host
misskey/sharkey are also very heavy on the client side due to excessive javascript. Great looks on the browser, tho
Thanks! Do you know if that is true for the two lemmy alternatives?
I think that the lightest you can get is SNAC: written in portable C, it requires only an ngix server, and no database.
It’s ideal for single used instances or automated projects
Here some background and how tos: https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html
And here the description of fedimeteo, that provides forecasts for thousands of cities on the fediverse using a slim low cost vps’ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/
I personally enjoy GTS. I use it for two accounts. It’s still alpha, so not feature complete, but it does all the basics I’d need and I find it to be stable.
I think it’s moved to beta since last Fall. Thanks for sharing! Does it only interact with Mastodon?
It interacts with the Fediverse in general. Peertube follows are bugged, but Peertube is working on it. It can’t really follow some Lemmy things, but van with others. Idk. :-D.
