One of the main benefits of a #federated#music ecosystem would be that while I personally have no interest at all in an "all-in-one" bells & whistles music discovery / scrobbling / streaming / social extravaganza "Platform A" - I could still follow and interact from my minimalist zen low-overhead solar-powered self-hosted single-user instance of "Platform B". Exactly how say #Epicyon & #Mastodon happily interact. (Sung to the tune of "Ebony and Ivory").
@haliphax Fundamentally a different approach to coding, Takahē uses Django as a web framework, backed by a database. I haven't looked at its code, but Django apps are split into many smaller files due to the design of the framework. I might take a look at it next week.
That being said, #Epicyon appears to have more of a "Static Site Generator" philosophy, inasmuch as you can within a fedi server that requires an always-on inbox.
I'm spending some of my free time next week looking at personal fedi servers. I'm not sure what I want is out there yet, but it'll be interesting to see various approaches.
If we want the network of apps to grow, developers needs to talk together and find consensus. This initiative looks like it's moving in the right direction!
I wanted to test this #fediverse thing out, so I installed #epicyon on a 20-year old Dell #computer running #Debian, that was ready for recycling, & was able to post, follow, interact with my #mastodon account. Now it's connected to millions of people
Epicyon's a fediverse server suitable for #selfhosting a small number of accounts on low power systems
