everybody says ActivityPub is too hard.

@dansup @pixelfed @loops I would love a single-user version of pixelfed. I abandoned mainstream social media and I’d love to run my single-user pixelfed instance on my own server.

@renata @pixelfed @loops i've been working on such a thing actually, its code-named Solo, and I teased it a bunch before.

How hard would be to make a #Snac fork focused on media?

#Snac is the best thing for single user instance, it already supports media, maybe just building a media UI for it..

@dansup @pixelfed @loops I saw the issue open on pixelfed codebase but other than a couple comments it felt kinda abandoned for the last few years. Good to know there’s still work being done on it.

looks great. it's tough because one place for everything AP would be awesome but then that's centralization. I guess the web has some orgs for this.

@renata @bruno @dansup @pixelfed @loops For what it’s worth having used both the memory requirements of snac and GotoSocial (with sqlite backend) are similarly low.

If you consider forking and  adding some modules on top of  something maybe Go is a bit more comfortable than C. Depends for whom I guess

@dansup @pixelfed @loops Thanks! Also using activity pub is not the hardest thing imo
