Listen, I’m going to shamelessly self promote my project all I can! Also PHP, also Symfony: Habitat is a platform for local communities. I don’t think PHP gets enough love! It’s incredibly versatile and is actually very fast in recent years.
It is currently not federated, and I should be careful with my words because people often confuse my intent when I talk about this. Federation is planned but ActivityPub is not. More details on this are on github.
Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte are all built in PHP. All they need to run is a LAMP stack. That’s why even a feature monster like Hubzilla needs fewer server resources per user than Mastodon.
They only have a little bit of JavaScript for some UI elements such as spoiler tags.
Mbin (like fedia.io and others) is also PHP, built on Symfony

Oh, that sounds nice! How does it work though? Are instances fully self-contained? Or is there cross instance federation or discoverability?
