I currently host a single-user Mastodon server for myself but it’s on a very small VPS and I’m wanting to migrate to Pleroma because it’s more lightweight. Is there any way to transfer my Mastodon account to Pleroma without doing the standard migration since I have the Mastodon database for my instance? This is so all my posts are preserved and there won’t be a broken redirect because I’ll be shutting down the Mastodon after Pleroma is up.
Maybe Akkoma is easier?

Did you also check out GoToSocial? It’s a very light Mastodon-compatible server, but comes without a user-facing GUI. So you need to use a client app.
However, I don’t know whether it can be easily migrated to from Mastodon.

GoToSocial is awesome. Some features are still missing, but the server is in active development.
As front-end I use Elk. It’s selfhostable as well as publicly usable at elk.zone. It’s labeled as alpha software but runs absolutely well.

That does seem like a good option for my use case, interestingly they note that no matter what I switch to I should change the subdomain:
That doesn’t look promising for moving the account without migrating because then I couldn’t maintain my username.

Have you checked GotoSocial’s docs on split-domain deployments?
docs.gotosocial.org/en/…/host-account-domain/
It looks like something you would want. (I will admit I have no experience with it though)
