I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a massive migration to ethical platforms. I am trying to choose the fittest fediverse solution to these, also considering that I am not sure how much my home server will be capable of sustaining, so the platform should ideally be as lightweight as possible. I am considering mastodon, pixelfed, misskey and sharkey, and some people have suggested akkoma.
What would you recommend? Thanks!!
@geoma Id go for Friendica - its a good mix i think will grow overtime to include different usage types
I have the idea that friendica is kinda old/outdated… Am I mistaken?
@geoma Not sure why… I mean what functionality doesn’t work that makes you think that? Is there anything Mastodon does that Frendica doesn’t?
I have no idea It’s just a vague feeling, not based in any experience whatsoever. What about resource usage?
@geoma I’m running on a free Oracle Instance and spinning up a separate instance on RBPi but not having any issues.
