Exactly! I hosted my Mastodon instance for around a year and I recently switched to Rebased (Pleroma Fork) and itβs far less maintenance, itβs faster, lighter on resources and I light the feature set offered by the Soapbox frontend a lot.
@NettoHikari@shandrew cant really recommend rebased tho, cause of the backstory on how the fork started and what its goals are... but i guess those are my personal preferences
@shandrew i have to remind myself to restart mastodon-setup.service, because its working so good. Ceph, which i also operate, is mpre maintenance heavy.
