RSS’s a big for me and had been considering originally using Mastodon + RSS Parrot. But though I don’t like the UI of Friendica, its native tracker bot function sounds rather interesting. 👀

Thinking here, the site engine I’d pick for daily use would probably be Mbin. But as I hear it is a bit of a processing hog, running it and a Friendica instance on the same device would maybe be too much for the device, so maybe I should buy another Raspberry Pi or some other SBC for it.

Tangencial comment, but as I’d presume your instance is running on a Linux server (usually sites are), maybe check with ncdu (if available) which folders are the biggest?

Also on the images issue pointed by another user, maybe also see if Lemmy now has a solution for it, or if any of the alternatives do.

Maybe there’s a way to import contents through federation? Just, if both run on the same hardware when doing it (possibly the new instance on a subdomain), both would run way slower.

Directly compatible with Lemmy, there’s Friendica (Facebook-like; also compatible with Twitter-like posts e.g. from Mastodon), Mbin (simplified/cleaner UI; also hybrid like Friendica), and PieFed (apparently more Reddit-like than Lemmy from what I read, in a technical sense).

Dunno which are better/worse to run, but I remember seeing hardware requirements on the docs of each of them.

Also it’s not uncommon to see single user instances from my experience. But if you feel it’s a waste of domain/resources, you could also create some dedicated community or something to give further use for it.
