Embed Notice

Now that I have used Mitra for a bit, I think I can comment on it a bit

WOT I LIKE:
>stupidly lightweight, barely uses RAM/CPU resources, see pics related from boot and longer uptime
>greentext by default
>restarting is quick
>default UI is nice, no bullshit and loads quickly, hovering over emojis zooms in on them
>mitractl is a really nice CLI tool
>install + maintenance is piss easy, especially on Debian courtesy of the .deb packages
>dev isn't retarded, is in fact polite and responds very quickly to inquiries (see: doing a quick release to add deleting accounts in the web UI when @splitshockvirus brought it up)

WOT I DON'T LIKE:
>no emoji reacts, even husky seems to filter out notifications for them
>no emoji autocomplete
>replies in threads kind of janky (I know dev is working on it)
>federation seems kinda janky, making the relay account for it is a cool solution but I don't know how to follow dedicated relays on it (e.g. https://relay.fedi.agency/actor). Also find that federation is slow but I can't really quantify it in any useful way
>no quote posts (not terribly salted peanuts about this but mite be cool to see)
>no markdown options for posts
>kinda wish there was a web UI for administrative stuff
>wish default UI was more customizable (e.g. like how you can change the background, logos, front-page, etc. on Pleromer) I could be full of shit assuming you could just muck with the assets directly for results

Overall I really like it and if emoji reacts + autocomplete were implemented along with the replies I'd definitely make this my main instance software. Looking forward to seeing where this goes
