The typical Firefish server setup uses Redis and PostgreSQL, but you can replace Redis with DragonflyDB and PostgreSQL with ScyllaDB for better performance, and firefish.social does both since there are many users. However, the ScyllaDB support is still unmerged and very experimental (I think v1.1.x indicates the ScyllaDB branch). So firefish.social uses more unstable version than the unstable version. Hopefully it'll get better in the future, as it's updated frequently with bug fixes... :ameow_sticks:

The version number on my server is odd because I use a slightly modified version of Firefish for personyal preference, but I believe the experience is basically the same as the normal one. I'm super happy with my server (which runs at 3.5 USD/mo(!) btw), so I think Firefish is generally more stable.
