I'm now pondering what it would be like to run my own micro instance for fediverse content.

Whatever it is, it has to be as feature rich and as economical to run as possible.

The two best choices I can think of are Lemmy and Plemora.

Please share your insights.

@trevdev I've been running my own #GoToSocial instance since the beginning of the year. It's been a good experience and there's a tool called https://github.com/VyrCossont/slurp to import your previous public posts from a Mastodon data export (before or after migration). Happy to chat more!
@shom GoLang, another no-brainer. Makes a lot of sense! How are you enjoying it? Edit: You did say it's been a good experience but maybe you'd like to elaborate!
@shom Nix support is a good selling point for me too
@trevdev the user experience has been excellent with phanpy as a client (it doesn't ship with a client but has a web and settings front end). The development has been fantastic with really thoughtful features and non-features, upgrading even with database migrations has been automatic and smooth. No issues with federation but I'm using relay.fedi.buzz with a second account on my instance to subscribe to hashtags. It's a bit of a workaround for not seeing all hashtags from relays showing up as boosts in my home timeline. It just works and I don't have to think about it, which is the best part.
@trevdev fellow #craftering member @tdback has a Nix config you can liberate.And oh, I really I like the markdown support.
