  • Hey! Sí, hablo castellano! Mejor que inglés. Estoy en Chile.

    I do have a considerable server (16GB RAM and a nice CPU/GPU), but I am sharing this server with a bunch of other services I host with Yunohost (a couple of nextcloud instances, immich, some gancio instances, etc.,)and after trying out a lot of things and running out of RAM I am in the process of pruning and selecting resource efficient services.

    I have this project https://eticadigital.cl/ and we reached a point in which we have a community and I think that if we manage to host a succesful Fediverse instance we could get the ball going by having members of our community start using it parallel to IG. These are IG oriented people that have learned and are sick of IG slop/AI/addicitive algorythms/data mining/proprietary software/etc.

    It would be oh so neat if they could have something like facebook pages (A small mini “website”)… Because a lot of people do need a website but won’t build one and have the feeling that IG solves this need. I guess Pixelfed portfolio functionality would work.

    I’ve just heard that, for example, for 100 users, mastodon is more resource heavy than Pixelfed? (I am thinking in terms of RAM and CPU, but mostly RAM is the main limiting factor here I guess). I don’t want to limit to friends and family because I am building a community and some people are moving me to host this because they are feeling the urge

    thanks!



  • pp (but then, there’s none for Bonfire either). You’ve got no other choice but to use the Web interface; at least Hubzilla can be installed on phones as a Progressive Web App. On top of that, especially the default theme is not really user-friendly and kind of stuck in the early 2010s, and for alternative themes, you

    I’ve messed a bit with Hubzilla but found its interface to be kinda old dated looking. It is not a problem for me, but I want to host a server in which I can manage to gradually migrate users from IG to the fedi, and I’m not sure if Hubzilla fits the bill. IOne thing I do love about Hubzilla is that ist kinda allows you to host your own “site”, like facebook pages… IMHO this is a great niche for the Fediverse by allowing people that don’t have a website, to solve their website needs and social network needs in one place. Of course a website is a website and I hope every entrepreneur has one, but in real life sadly most people don’t, as IG sequestered this function.
