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

Microblogging I'm assuming.

Pleroma is pretty lightweight. If you're looking for really lightweight, check out Honk. https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk

Lemmy is a fediverse server and it uses far less resources than Mastodon.

For Mastonon-compatible service have a look at GoToSocial. It's alpha software but works very well.

Maybe try Akkoma or Gotosocial

Friendica is also an option.

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

@csolisr@communities.azkware.net 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.
