Pleroma is a lighter-weight alternative. You'll want to replace the front-end with something like Soapbox, however (THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL STATEMENT, JUST A STATEMENT OF FACT) the lead Soapbox dev is a "free speech absolutist" and platforms literal Nazis on his server, so Mastodon communities might decide you are guilty by association if you use Soapbox as your front end.

Pleroma servers (social networking and microblogging). - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
I've got a slew of different computers doing different things. All of them are networked together via Tailscale. Ubuntu 22.04 Server for the host, everything else runs in LXC containers. This is all setup on ZFS. - https://znc.in/ IRC bouncer - https://caddyserver.com/ Caddy Webserver for a few personal websites - https://github.com/AndroidKitKat/waifupaste.moe/ Torrent client that I actually use for Linux... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Pleroma is one of the fediverse implementations for microblogging like Twitter and Mastodon. It uses Elixir which "runs on Erlang VM known for creating low-latency, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems.". - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
Pleroma - Lightweight microblogging platform. Source: over 1 year ago
I too self host my instance. I opted to use Pleroma (https://pleroma.social/) for a backend to interact with the fediverse because of the easier setup and lower hosting requirements. It’s been working for a few years now and (luckily) I never had major incidents. It’s very refreshing to be in full control of one’s data (compared to the centralised experience with other socials like Twitter and Facebook). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
The nice thing is that you don't have to run a Mastodon instance to partake in the fediverse, there are a number of other server platforms that can be used. Another popular one is Pleroma[0], which to my understanding is much lighter-weight. [0]: https://pleroma.social/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
If you want to erect your own fediverse server, Pleroma is an option, and arguably superior in many ways https://pleroma.social/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
This may be a weird question but I was checking out Pleroma's official site (https://pleroma.social/) and decided to join an instance. I checked out one of their servers "Cowfee.club" andrealized there were a lot of antisemitic posts. I understand its decentralized and thoughts will be more unfiltered but I thought it kind of a strange move for a company to make. Does this reflect on all Pleroma servers or...

I think Plemora has a feature like this (an internal chat plus a public post feed) Https://pleroma.social/. Source: over 1 year ago
Https://pleroma.social is way simpler to run on your own. You do not need redis and elastic search. Source: over 1 year ago
Pleroma - Already mentioned by someone else, but it's a bit kludgey to deploy and did not have a containerized version last I tried it. Source: over 1 year ago

I'll use this opportunity to mention Pleroma [1], my preferred alternative to Mastodon & others. It's much more lightweight than Mastodon. 1: https://pleroma.social/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I've been running (Pleroma)[https://pleroma.social/] for (microblogging)[https://micro.mkp.ca/] for a couple years, and Peertube for (video sharing)[https://vid.mkp.ca]. When I get time I'll be replacing Pleroma with something else. One of the (many) nice features about the Fediverse over proprietary microblogging is that you can migrate accounts between hosts, and all of your followers come with you. Source: over 1 year ago
For Mastodon usually it doesn't fetch older posts from before I followed you (the term is called "backfeeding" I think). But ActivityPub allows that via the /outbox feature. I think some other server software like Pleroma support backfeeding. Source: over 1 year ago
If your setting it up just for yourself it seems Pleroma is the way to go https://pleroma.social/ (assuming it’s ok to post this here, in the spirit indopen source and such). Source: over 1 year ago
If you're considering Mastodon, you might want to instead use Pleroma (https://pleroma.social/) which provides access to Mastodon instances but is less demanding of computing resources, and easier to create your own instance (if you choose to go that route) as it has fewer dependencies. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
With all the attention towards mastodon, people should know about pleroma https://pleroma.social/ which aims to be lighter version of mastodon. It runs on a raspberry pi and is almost 1:1 compared to mastodon so that should get some attention also. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Definitely Mastodon if you want all the nice features but there's also Pleroma and ktistec if you want to safe resources. Source: over 1 year ago
Mastodon and Pleroma are very similar to Twitter. Both are based on the activitypub protocol, so if one group sets up a pleroma instance and another sets up a Mastodon server, they can still communicate together. Ultimately between the two, I think it's up to personal preference, but Mastodon is very popular. Source: over 1 year ago
