The fediverse is the network of federated decentralized social media using activitypub to connect. Lemmy (the software on which chapo.chat is based) will be in some months part of this network.

What do you think about fediverse ? Are some of you using Mastodon as a twitter replacement ?

    I'm a huge fan. I run a pleroma instance for myself.

    Once lemmy fully supports federation I'll host that myself too.

        I think this is my goal. If the federation works the way it does in my brain (which is both broken and dumb), it'd be cool to have my own instance and still shitpost here with that.

        I don't post very often, so I didn't even think to mention it.

          What do you host it on? I've been considering hosting an instance but I only have an old 2007 laptop to spare atm.

            if you install a pleroma instance, your old laptop will be 100% enough.

            I rent a dedicated server from a hosting provider with a buddy of mine, but I think pleroma would work on something like a raspberry pi. I ran a Friendica instance from a raspberry pi 3 for a while and it worked fine.

              How is friendica? It looks like a facebook alternative which isn't bad but is there more to it than that?

                It's good and will probably work as a microblogging platform as well as mastodon or pleroma, but it provides a lot of stuff I don't need.

      How is Pleroma? I run a Mastodon instance for myself, but it's hilariously overweight for what I need/want.
