I think that the lightest you can get is SNAC: written in portable C, it requires only an ngix server, and no database.

It’s ideal for single used instances or automated projects

Here some background and how tos: https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

And here the description of fedimeteo, that provides forecasts for thousands of cities on the fediverse using a slim low cost vps’ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

Thank you, great to hear all my points are being addressed! The thing about post rendering, well, I just hope a common solution is found 😊

thank you! I will keep an eye on those

Nah… Missing IMHO:

• Strava like
• IMDB like
• stackoverflow like
• google maps review like

Hi, I think that Lemmy is great thank you for your hard work

I actually think that given the ads and other distorsions, and thanks to federation, Lemmy is overall actually better than reddit!

Some features I miss are:

• tags
• direct messages outside Lemmy (even if not encrypted)
• better rendering of posts on mastodon (something beyond the title only). Not sure what side is responsible for this, tho!

Keep up the good work guys!

I have some favorites

• https://makertube.net/accounts/michellemay about stichong, sewing etc

• https://subscribeto.me/accounts/gbryant technology and videogames

• https://video.canadiancivil.com/accounts/shifter active mobility and biking

I don’t think that Reddit is so much better. The interface at the moment is full of ads that make i confusing. The only thing is the community search that is a bit cumbersome, but this is due to federation, and understood. On the other hand the federation with Mastodon/Friendica/whatever is super-powerful, hand honestly enjoyable

Thank you for all your work

Any new device that supports it?

I think this is good practice from repair people: my motorbike mechanic would always keep the old parts when replacing them, to show me the status when I was taking the motorbike back. It’s a sort of transparency move that I actually appreciate.

And moreover, the old part is still yours, so it makes sense to give it back to you, unless you explicitly say otherwise

You mean they don’t repair the plastoc covers?

I guess that the same number of cells also dies in the same period!
