I want to host a fediverse instance but I need it to be light (limited system resources). Mastodon seems to be kinda heavy. GotoSocial is supposedly very light? (but limited on functionality?) is Pixelfed much heavier? Bonfire is built on elixir so should also be light? Akkoma? Pleroma?

Also, I need it to be engaging to people migrating mostly from IG, so I do need some bells/whistles I guess

thanks!

EDIT: The instance is supposed to be hosting a community of 100-200 people. Maybe even more in the future (in which case we would probably migrate to another server)

Having a "facebook pages" / mini website / pixelfed portfolio is very functional for the people I plan to invite.

@geoma @Tealk I run #Friendica and #pixelfed on an instance of #Yunohost. Just for me, my friends and family. (Gosh I wasn't sure about the use of the reflexive first person pronoun there). But I guess that it really does depended on what the system requirements are and - taking into account the, engaging with people who are migrating from IG, requirement to. Are thoes people mainly using pixelfed?
