I want to host a fediverse instance but I need it to be light (limited system resources). Mastodon seems to be kinda heavy. GotoSocial is supposedly very light? (but limited on functionality?) is Pixelfed much heavier? Bonfire is built on elixir so should also be light? Akkoma? Pleroma?

Also, I need it to be engaging to people migrating mostly from IG, so I do need some bells/whistles I guess

thanks!

EDIT: The instance is supposed to be hosting a community of 100-200 people. Maybe even more in the future (in which case we would probably migrate to another server)

Having a “facebook pages” / mini website / pixelfed portfolio is very functional for the people I plan to invite.

    @geoma @Tealk I can’t answer you on that but perhaps others have more direct experience. #Friendica can do groups but maybe not pages.

    What’s limiting you on CPU? I guess number of users is not so much an important metric more number of concurrent users

      Friendica does not have pages functionality? More than CPU, I guess main limitation is RAM?
