Alternative to lemmy by tedu of OpenBSD fame. It uses ActivityPub and is actually compatible with lemmy. Here is an example instance:

    The codebase is actually vastly more readable. I’m going to take it for a spin tomorrow and see how well it behaves, but so far it sounds like a much better deal deployment-wide for small instances.

      much better deal deployment-wide for small instances.

      Similar thing what’s to have happened with akkoma where it is the preferred platform for single user or small instances.

      Is it using SQLite (see repo: https://az1.azorius.net/about) rather than a full dbms? Interesting if true, and definitely more optimised for small deployments.

      I wonder if lemmy could be configured to work with SQLite for smaller deployments?

    Just tried it there it is blazingly fast and from the stats it seems super light on resources too. It also works great without js and cookies at least to browse.

    Looks like it is coded in golang and is using sqlite for the back end.

    It has an old school web vibe to it.
