Suggestion of fediverse server that doesn't consume so many resources (unlike both Mastodon and Filefish)

You can set Firefish and Misskey to use fewer workers. It can work with as little as one, for maximum RAM savings.

@[email protected] can you point me to some documentation about it?

Sure, this is the configuration file used by Firefish: https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/blob/develop/.config/example.yml

Generally it's stored in /var/www/firefish/.config/default.yml and you want to change these lines:

clusterLimit: 1
deliverJobConcurrency: 64
inboxJobConcurrency: 8

That way the system will use a single thread and process fewer inbox / outbox requests in parallel. This of course may impact performance, but for a single-user server it will work well enough.
