Moving from Pleroma to Honk
                 ===========================

                             Honk
                             ----

Honk is a very lightweight ActivityPub server created by Ted
Unangst.

> An ActivityPub server with minimal setup and support costs.

See: https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk


Honk is written in Go and uses SQLite as database.


                    Pro's and cons of Honk
                    ----------------------

Pro's

* Honk doesn't use JavaScript and can be used with a TUI web
  browser like lynx.
  
* Honk uses SQLite, which is easier than

* PostgreSQL. Honk is very easy to install, and hardly has any
  dependencies.

Cons

* I have not been able to connect with a mobile client.

                        Moving to Honk
                        --------------

I have installed Honk in a FreeBSD jail.

After that, I had to set up a sub domain with a TLS certificate,
add it to my relayd configuration and firewall configuration.

                   Following and followers
                   -----------------------

Unfortunately, I have found no way to move the accounts I am
following to Honk automagically. 

So, I have to manually add the accounts I want to follow, and
hope that people will follow me back.

You can now reach me in the Fediverse at: @matto@pub.matto.nl
