@nyanide @rlier23 For single user Mitra has been the best experience by far. Still has a couple of features from Pleroma I miss but beyond that everything is orders of magnitude better. Setup and maintenance (two most critical parts on single/limited user instances) are quick and painless, especially on Debian-based systems. Plus the dev is sane, pleasant, very active and actually listens to what users of his software want.
Don't just take my word though, @sendpaws wrote up his experience with Mitra here:
