Yeah, the interface isn't winning any beauty pageants, but it's the most feature-rich software I know; the question is, how do you use social media?
I guess it doesn't matter how much I use it, but how the people I want to help migrate do use it... and they mostly use Instagram as a (lousy) swiss knife.. About friendica, is it lightweight? do you have an idea in howit compares to akkoma in resource usage?
@geoma @Tealk I can't answer you on that but perhaps others have more direct experience. #Friendica can do groups but maybe not pages.
What's limiting you on CPU? I guess number of users is not so much an important metric more number of concurrent users
Friendica does not have pages functionality? More than CPU, I guess main limitation is RAM?
I can't compare it to Akoma, but since it's purely PHP and SQL-based, I'd consider it one of the most lightweight platforms alongside GoToSocial.
What about Pixelfed? That's probably the closest thing to Instagram.
Yes, Pixelfed is beautiful but I doubt its performance (resource usage). Do you know how it compares to Friendica in that sense?
No, I've never compared the services based on resource consumption; I've never really cared about that before.
@geoma @Tealk I havent explored the alternative UIs for friendica but might be worth checking those out..
