I’m looking for a customizable, resource-efficient Mastodon fork. Bonfire? Rebased? Or go non-Ruby, like Pleroma (nah), Misskey Calckey, indeed, Lemmy (hui)? Any experiences?

This is part of an endeavour to host w/ a RaspberryPi & solar power. It will be a device to mess around, test, and share experiences.

Potential features:

  • tweaking network traffic in various ways
  • media options: off, auto compression, auto delete
  • monitoring server metrics, energy flow, sharing data through a bot
  • auto-off when battery low, sad emoji

Re-posting this from Mastodon w/ minor edits, because Fediverse and potential cross-interaction. I probably should have posted here first and then shared the link on Mastodon, but it’s a Mastodon question, so I did it the other way around. Still not sure what’s the best way to do this though.

    Thanks, this is the way to go. Since my project is for research and testing purposes, however, I might check out multiple setups and compare results. A follow-up post sounds about right.

    I need a bit of spare time to start working on that soon-ish.
