Hey all! As I’ve been branching off more and more into the Fediverse I’ve been looking at Masto alternatives and all of them are great. I like most quite a bit more than Mastodon for the UI and featureset. I want to selfhost one, and Akkoma’s lightweight nature and rich features attracted me.
Yet for some reason it seems to be impossible to find and follow most Mastodon accounts on these platforms. I’ve tried various instances, and most of the people I follow just cannot be found. Is there a reason for this I do not know?
I’m running a calckey instance and have no issue. Akkomas site claims it federates with Mastodon so is it maybe a non-Akkoma issue? Something in your server setup maybe?
It was mainly the search, it was a ghost town for Masto content and accounts. Maye that’s still a WIP, but finding accounts I want to doesn’t seem easy.
I don’t know the full story but I’m aware of an association between pleroma and some of the nastier, nazier corners of the fedi. My guess is that many of the larger instances running pleroma have been defederated from their masto counterparts.

So far, I’ve encountered no problem adding masto accounts in akkoma. That said, I don’t use it much.

A quick Google of “pleroma Nazis” gave me this, probably more nuanced, explanation: https://medium.com/@Trevatos/gnu-social-pleroma-and-the-mastodon-culture-conflict-3b10872937c2
