Looking for alternatives to Twitter microblogging. Mastodon seemed cool but has its downsides. Pleroma purports to be lighter-weight to host and fully ActivityPub compatible. What’s the catch?

Can you clarify which problems you have with Mastodon that you’re hoping to resolve with these alternatives?
Nah. It’s hearsay that i didn’t look too deep into. But thanks to some replies I’ve found out that Pleroma also has its own problems. And considering what I’m intending to use such a platform for - following other people and occasionally posting updates of my own - Mastodon serves this purpose well. Plus, it’s reasonably popular now, so it’s more likely that people have it.
