@i @mint It's still a passion project and I really love elixir so it's not going away. Lain wants to start cutting out complexity and unused functionality. There's low hanging fruit for performance improvements. e.g., I have plans to completely refactor and simplify the caching too with a new better approach (Nebulex). I hope to be running a Pleroma instance across multiple redundant tiny computers at home soon as proof of concept that we can scale horizontally and scale down just fine (database and media on another server, but good enough. Serious people can cluster / load balance that too)

It's also possible to run Pleroma with no frontend webserver. I've done this in another project to experiment. Works great! It can get its own certificate with LetsEncrypt and bind on real 80/443.
