The reason I’m excited about #Akkomane has less to do with whiz bang features, and more to do with scalability of the service.
With typical #Fediverse services, it takes a lot of resources to run them. And the more your server federates with others and redistributes messages, the more of a toll it takes on CPU and RAM.
More than one Fediverse server has closed because server admins simply didn’t have enough money or resources to keep them operating.
But Akkoma is great for low spec servers. This is why so many single-user servers use Akkoma. Unfortunately, the default UI/UX isn’t so user friendly.
However, I’ve discovered that an alternative front-end, Mangane, offers a UI/UX that is both familiar to most people, and offers lots of bells and whistles – such as quote posts, post scheduling, Markdown, etc.
Akkomane offers the best of both worlds: server stability and a friendly UI/UX.
