Hello from littleFedi πŸ‘‹

This is the official account for littleFedi.

littleFedi is a lightweight, efficient and Mastodon-compatible platform for the Fediverse.

The idea behind it is simple: software should adapt to the machine and the community, not the other way around.

littleFedi can run on modest hardware, but it is not designed only for small machines. The same approach is meant to scale with you, from a tiny personal instance to a larger community.

Our priorities are:

  • Efficiency, without unnecessary resource usage
  • Simplicity, both for users and administrators
  • Interoperability, with the wider Fediverse
  • Accessibility, including a usable no-JavaScript baseline
  • Control, because your instance should remain yours
  • No AI features, no magic black boxes, just predictable software and transparent algorithms

The project is still evolving, and we are deliberately taking the time to test federation, scalability and the rough edges before calling it ready.

This account will be used for releases, development updates, technical notes, demos and everything related to littleFedi.

πŸ§ͺ Demo: https://littleone.littlefedi.social

Small footprint when you need it. Room to grow when you need that too.

Welcome to littleFedi.

@littlefedi_official "The source is not published yet. This site is a preview of the project, not a download page." ? Its a binary file which I cannot compile myself?

@grayrattus@mastodon.social No, there is no binary to download yet. It's a preview of a project that isn't ready for release yet. There's a test instance with about 50 people.

Colour me 'Interested'!

I have a spare laptop with reasonable spec.
I have (somewhere!) a domain I bought.
This sounds 'do-able'.

I may well have a play πŸ™‚

@littlefedi_official Hello, the site looks neat, but without the source code, it's just a hype machine for now.

@ticho@mas.to the code is being reviewed by other people before any public disclosure. There are some points that still need to be addressed before it can be publicly released.

There's a working instance, invite-only for now.

The hype is real, though πŸ˜‰

@littlefedi_official How does #littlefedi compare to @gotosocial ?

@olav@schettler.net @gotosocial@superseriousbusiness.org they're different options. GoToSocial is more mature and concentrates on creating a proper backend. littleFedi also provides a web interface and a PWA. littleFedi also supports creating blog posts, etc.
