I'm running Mastodon and yes it is quite a big software but it is fairly lightweight if you run a one person instance. The biggest advantage is that it's rock solid. I had zero problems running or upgrading it in the last um 5 years or something.

I’m running pleroma with bdx-town/mangane ui. Does the trick looks slick. Could have moved to akkoma but haven’t. Been running for ~ 3 years.
GoToSocial is designed for small / single user instances. There's more with similar goals like snac, seppo, pub, ktistec, tapir, shuttlecraft, activities.next, and microblog.pub, but I haven't really looked into them so I'm not sure on the status of each. There's a nice list of activitypub software at delightful fediverse apps if you want to look at more options.
Idk, choose whatever you like from here

You can use nostr alternatively, although I’m not sure if there’s any “lighter” alternative
