I agree, I started looking at setting up a mastodon instance and didn't get very far before looking at alternatives. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't really want to run another Wordpress, but Gnu Social looks promising.

Check out pleroma. It uses much less resources than mastodon so it’s been nice as a single user instance.

  And GoToSocial is also a nice alternative to Mastodon

  If you want even lower resource usage, try honk[1] (currently using about 80M whilst my Pleroma is using 350M + 500M from Postgres) (although it is considerably more minimal than Pleroma...) [1] https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk

    I love software like that, thanks for sharing. I do worry about seems like a single-user contributor project, though. Pleroma and Mastodon have healthy amounts of contributors and activity, so I feel more comfortable about going with them.
