im trying to make a small instance on the fediverse for me and my friends and i not only like how pleroma is set up UI wise but also heard that it was easier to install. This is my first time doing this stuff, especially on a tight budget (literally have nothing right now) and Im following this tutorial ive been looking at for months now: https://oqtacore.com/blog/10-steps-to-create-a-free-mastodon-server/
its exactly as it states. its an article from some random company ive never heard of that offers MVP development, team extension, and other services. they made this tutorial for some reason and im willing to give it a shot, though its mainly focusing on Mastodon rather than Pleroma.
