fediverse platform for a schools community network


I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a massive migration to ethical platforms. I am trying to choose the fittest fediverse solution to these, also considering that I am not sure how much my home server will be capable of sustaining, so the platform should ideally be as lightweight as possible.
I am considering mastodon, pixelfed, misskey and sharkey, and some people have suggested akkoma.

What would you recommend?
Thanks!!

IMO, this is one of the main ways the fediverse should seek to grow: Setup fediverse instances run by universities and government institutions.

Id go for Friendica - its a good mix i think will grow overtime to include different usage types

Fediverse reshared this.
