Gregory's Server@darius When you write "Hometown is a light weight fork of Mastodon. ", am I correct that you mean that in the sense of not being very different? Or is it light weight in the sense of running more efficiently or not needing as many server resources?

@darius I think that as people are discovering some scaling issues, they might look for alternatives that don't require such a big server, and they might be initially confused. Pleroma or GoToSocial might be what they want? You are offering something more like an add-on set of features for Mastodon, rather than a differently architected implementation (right?)  @knewman completely correct. I have updated the language: https://github.com/hometown-fork/hometown/blob/hometown-dev/README.md @knewman btw Hometown's answer to scaling is: for the love of god please keep your server to 100-200 active users at the most, both for moderation reasons and community building reasons |
@knewman I mean it in terms of being 99.99999% identical to Mastodon. I think the sentence after the light weight quote explains this, but maybe I should clarify?
> This fork is based on the principle of: minimum code change for maximum user experience change.
