Stefano Marinelli - littleFedi

Barista at BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe - @stefano@bsd.cafe / @stefano@illumos.cafe Spreading weather forecasts all over the Fediverse via FediMeteo - @admin@fedimeteo.com Testing littleFedi here on littleOne, its first instance open to outside users. Small ActivityPub server, single Go binary, still in active development. I will also use this account to provide information about this instance and the development of littleFedi. #littleFedi #Fediverse #OwnYourData

• For the first time, littleFedi will be shown publicly

  And I have to say, this makes me very happy. :) A pre-release build will be running on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W at Berlin FediDay, where people will be able to see it, try it, play with it, and probably abuse it a little too. Unfortunately I won't be there in person, because I'll…

• littleFedi doesn't need a Raspberry PI to run

  2026-08-28 13:28 UTC · #littlefedi, #littleone

  It can run on a Raspberry PI - and this is totally different. It's a Go app, so the current compatibility matrix is: Operating system Published binaries (make release) Full release matrix (make release-all) Also compiles (make allreleases) FreeBSD amd64, arm64 386, arm none…

• littleFedi and your data

  2026-08-20 17:10 UTC · #fediverse, #littlefedi, #littleone, #ownyourdata

  Several people have asked me the same thing over the past few days, in different words but with the same question underneath: "if I set up a littleFedi instance, or open an account on one that is already running, what ends up stored somewhere?". It is a fair question and it…

  I keep a terminal window open most evenings, more out of habit than need, tailing the access log of one of the littleFedi test instances while I think about something else entirely. That's how I noticed it the first time: a fetch from a Threads host, correct in every way…

• Another step closer to release!

  2026-08-11 09:12 UTC · #fediverse, #littlefedi

  The official website is now live at https://littlefedi.org/ with documentation and project details. Take a look and let me know what you think! #littleFedi #Fediverse

• littleFedi media management

  2026-08-09 11:00 UTC · #fediverse, #littlefedi

  Are you worried that your low-power device will be overwhelmed by external media caching? Don't worry, we've already thought of that! littleFedi offers 4 media management options: "No caching, no proxying": Media is fetched directly by the user from the originating instance.…

• littleFedi: a Fediverse Server That Doesn't Need a Data Centre

  2026-08-07 15:45 UTC · #fediverse, #littlefedi

  I was fifteen, and there were no BBSes in my city. So every call was long distance, once a day, sometimes twice. I'd start the dialer and wait for that sound - the handshake, the negotiation, the hiss settling into a carrier - and then I was connected to a computer sitting in…

• littleFedi works like a real app on your phone

  2026-08-06 12:46 UTC · #fediverse, #littlefedi, #ownyourdata, #pwa

  A few people have asked me how to actually use littleFedi on mobile, so let's clear this up. I use MastoBlaster, for obvious reasons. But you don't need to build anything native - littleFedi is a Progressive Web App (PWA), and that means it behaves like a proper installed app…
