Even the lightweight server options are very heavy (resources, install process, and/or UI clutter) or are a pain to deploy. Does a single user server exist? I don't want to host for others, but would like to interact with a few pe

I appreciate when app maintainers set a standard for their dependencies. I wish it wasn't so rare. Node needs a static dependency checker to prevent using anything that has isodd or similar useless modules in its dependency graph.

Your comment piqued my interest, but I didn't find the android (Manyverse) or desktop (Patchwork) apps to be user friendly. The UIs had a few UX oddities and unless you are convinced to join by others who are already using it, the soci

Django is mature, stable, and battle tested without using flashy new tech. Django IS boring, but that's another one of its features. (personal opinion, not an official Django statement)
