Have you tried conduit? I am joined to rooms with several thousand users each, and I’m not really suffering any slowdowns except during initial sync. Conduit seems to be running happily at half a gig of RAM, and CPU usage is minimal

I am surprised so few people are mentioned conduit here. Last I checked, it was running at only 500 MB of RAM. I don’t have any app services installed though, and I’m the only user on my instance.

Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It’s one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.

Didn’t the Apollo developer say that he was planning on porting his app to the fediverse?
