  • It is nice and small server that do the basic well. I once use it on my poor $5 vps while being stuffed together with several of my PHP/MySQL apps. It has small footprint, several of my friends still use it on half-gigs ram vps.
    But its lack of features sucks tho, there are no working filters, no disable re-toot per users setting (like on akkoma), and also there are no relay support so my timeline looks bare.
    I migrate from GtS for now, but if above features are implemented in near future, may be I’ll migrate back to GtS.

    Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:

    • Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
    • Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
    • Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.

    I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.



    1. Rust > PHP
    2. At the moment, Lemmy is more stable & have workable Android Apps.
    3. People who can use software regardless of the creator’s political belief/worldview tend to be more open-minded and rational than purist who choose software only built by those who has same worldview with them even when it was inferior or lacking many features than alternatives.
    4. People on Lemmy is diverse in their ideological/worldview, It makes conversation more interesting and less prone to be an echo chamber for one ideological believe.

    I use a cheap android phone (<$120 when I bought it 3 years ago). I protect it with cheap case + Hydrogel screen protector. I’m satisfied with Hydrogel type screen protector as it still on good condition even after my phone falls screenfirst many times. There are many scratches right now on the screen protector, but it still usable and not annoying as most scratches located on the edge of screen. Most of them caused by falling sceenfirst to gravel ground and asphalt several times… lol.
