About Pleroma

Pleroma is an open source microblogging server that implements the ActivityPub protocol. It lets you host your own social media instance where users can post short messages, follow others, and interact with posts from federated platforms like Mastodon. The software is designed to be lightweight and efficient, running well on low-power hardware like a Raspberry Pi.

Pleroma supports the Mastodon client API, so you can use existing Mastodon apps and tools with your instance. It offers a responsive web frontend called Pleroma FE, along with optional rich text formatting, emoji reactions, and custom themes. The backend is written in Elixir using the Phoenix framework, which gives it strong concurrency and fault tolerance.

This tool is ideal for individuals or communities who want to run their own social network without heavy infrastructure costs. Pleroma is free software released under the AGPLv3 license. It has a small but active development community and is used by hundreds of instances worldwide.
