You’ll notice something very important in the title, I did not mention Mastodon in it, because while Mastodon is a server you can connect to the wider Fediverse and Microblog Twitter style it…
About installing the light-weight Pleroma with the Soapbox front end.

Great to see some detailed how-tos for something other than mastodon. Though in this case theyre using Rebased as the backend which is a fork of Pleroma.
I still wonder why Pleroma had to be forked. Now the development is mostly around Akkoma, apparently.
The Akkoma dev gave an indication hopefully it works out.
As many of you will be aware, back in 01/2022, there was something of a schism in the smallish group of Pleroma developers with no single cause in my eyes - it was the culmination of years of mounting tensions between two competing interest groups.
I’m glad Akkoma seems to be opposing all the freeze peach nuts who very much gave Pleroma the reputation for being the Mastodon of Nazis.
We need alternatives to Mastodon. MissKey is nice (although had major federation issues for me and was barely updated when I went to use it through YunoHost) and GoToSocial seems to be making decent progress but something lightweight like what Pleroma used to be would be nice (depending on how you see it) for self-hosters who just want to run their instance from a Raspberry Pi or a cheap VPS.
