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!

@geoma Hey .. we talked on #Reddit - welcome. ¿Hablas español tambien? Great So I guess the idea would be to get some kind of requirements together.

What system resources do you have?
How important is it that your posts are IG like (that would as people say suggest pixelfed as the default option I am guesssing).

What do you mean by Mastodon feeling 'kind of heavy'? Do you mean complicated or CPU, memory, storage heavy? - Regardless of what application you are considering the second point is more about who you want to be using the instance. I would strongly recommend that you limit it to friends and family - and for that (regardless of what software you are using) - the requirements aren't huge.

I'm also going to mention @FediTips - who might be able make some suggestions but yeah .. more info please?
