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/

I personally enjoy GTS. I use it for two accounts. It's still alpha, so not feature complete, but it does all the basics I'd need and I find it to be stable.

I think it’s moved to beta since last Fall. Thanks for sharing! Does it only interact with Mastodon?

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It interacts with the Fediverse in general. Peertube follows are bugged, but Peertube is working on it. It can't really follow some Lemmy things, but van with others. Idk. :-D.

I like it. Its worked well for the last year or so.

I like the look of phanpy on my own little machine.

What do you mean by lightweight? Like lightweight on the client, requiring less javascript? Or on the server hoster, because the server-side is more efficient?

Could not find any more sources on this …

I mean server side.
