Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What’s the catch?
(I am not very experienced with the fediverse, having only just joined Lemmy)
Seems pretty good, you should probably just give it a try and see which one you prefer. https://joinfirefish.org/join/ is also an option (I like it better than Mastodon, but to each their own)
Does Firefish have edit federation yet? Pleroma and Mastodon (and all the currently maintained forks) have it but Misskey and its forks seem to be slacking there.
