fediverse platform for a schools community network

I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a massive migration to ethical platforms. I am trying to choose the fittest fediverse solution to these, also considering that I am not sure how much my home server will be capable of sustaining, so the platform should ideally be as lightweight as possible. I am considering mastodon, pixelfed, misskey and sharkey, and some people have suggested akkoma. What would you recommend? Thanks!!

Looking for a pretty, easy to use app to register my expenses and incomes and then get charts telling me how much I am spending on real needs or on luxuries and things like that. It has to be for Android, not an abandoned project, and libre software. It has to have an easy interface that allows me to enter records with minimal hassle. I've researched a little and narrowed down to this: * Money Manager EX https://moneymanagerex.org/ * Buckwheat https://buckwheat.app/ * Oinkoin https://github.com/emavgl/oinkoin * My Expenses https://www.myexpenses.mobi Any recommendations? Or a new one I didn't find? thanks! -------------- UPDATE: Money Manager EX gives a an error and somehow I missed what I entered. Buckwheat crashes. My Expenses seems OK but is not as straightforward as Oinkoin

Mobilizon v/s Nextcloud (v/s other?) for a network of people event calendar

I have been given the task of finding a proper platform for building a network of education, medical and other initiatives in my country, that have all the same focus (I am sorry I can't give details yet on the project, but you could probably could get a grasp of the idea if you think in something like a church whose attendants have a lot of different church-related initiatives) Until this day, there are only isolated, individual projects, but we want a network that connects them all. So I think we will be setting up a fediverse instance for this (Still trying to decide between Pixelfed, Mastodon and Firefish), but, before that, we need to solve a simpler issue: a Calendar of Events. The idea would be that different users can add their events and all these get inside one single calendar (and you can filter by categories, etc.) Would mobilizon be the best fit for this? because at first I was thinking in making a nextcloud install, wich could satisfy the events calendar need and could also give some other services. What do you think? thanks!

In what cases is a DRAM-less SSD good enough?

Where I live, DRAM-less SSDs are a lot cheaper (half the price). Most sources online say "go for an SSD with DRAM". But I wonder, are cases in which a DRAM-less SSD will do just fine? My main focus is resurrecting old laptops (from 2006 to 2015), installing GNU/Linux and an sometimes investing in an SSD will give them a performance boost, but the budget is limited because I can't sella uch an old laptop at a non very budgety price.

Looking for fediverse platform for a minimal corporate website.

Some friends have websites. I encourage them to do. But they have them only to publish contact info, opening times, and a couple of photos of their business. What would be the best fediverse platform for this? Of course being able to post/toot news every now and then, is also a good feature.

best fediverse solution for a project/corporate /entrepreneurship page

I know everybody with a project should have their own website and then federate to social networks. But people have become lazy in this sense and they hold their projects inside instagram. Ok, they could use pixelfed instead, but IG/PF are not the best fit for holding a project (for example your artistic/therapeutic/whatever entrepreneurship), facebook pages is kinda better. A blogspot could probably be a better fit (I'm thinking of people that would feel very complicated on building/hosting a proper website), or silex or neocities but, is there something that would work like this somewhere on the fediverse? Thanks!
