Akkoma is a specialised and opinionated fork of Pleroma. It is faster-paced in development and aligns itself more closely with Misskey than Pleroma mainline.

Akkoma differentiates itself by focusing on user experience and expression as a first priority.

Also, unlike Pleroma which has assumed instances are small or single-user, Akkoma instead is treating each instance as a community in its own right.

To this end Akkoma has functionality that allows several self-governing communities (instances) to band together in a larger community of instances, where they can share a specific "bubble" timeline.

What are some advantages over Pleroma?

Akkoma adds features such as a Bubble timeline, local-only posting and compatibility with the Mastodon client API (and thus may be used with Mastodon mobile apps).

What are some limitations?
