Resource-efficient fork of Mastodon—or go for other Fediverse packages instead? (social.tchncs.de)

I'm looking for a customizable, resource-efficient Mastodon fork. Bonfire? Rebased? Or go non-Ruby, like Pleroma (nah), Misskey Calckey, indeed, Lemmy (hui)? Any experiences?

This is part of an endeavour to host w/ a RaspberryPi & solar power. It will be a device to mess around, test, and share experiences.

Potential features:

tweaking network traffic in various ways
media options: off, auto compression, auto delete
monitoring server metrics, energy flow, sharing data through a bot
auto-off when battery low, sad emoji

Re-posting this from Mastodon w/ minor edits, because Fediverse and potential cross-interaction. I probably should have posted here first and then shared the link on Mastodon, but it's a Mastodon question, so I did it the other way around. Still not sure what's the best way to do this though.

it's still in alpha, but if it's just for messing around maybe try GoToSocial!
