I'd use gotosocial over mastodon/*key for self-hosting. I heard masto/*keys are pretty heavy to host

misskey/sharkey are also very heavy on the client side due to excessive javascript. Great looks on the browser, tho

Thanks! Do you know if that is true for the two lemmy alternatives?

Can't say much abt mbin, but piefeds easier/lighter to host than Lemmy. Personally if I had to host an instance for myself I'd go with piefed (theres already an alpha API at can be enabled with FLASK_DEBUG, Pferd and interstellar already support piefed)
