Is apparently The main choice for using a single user microblogging platform as it can run on minimal resources unlike mastodon without reading of any features (it has more than mastodon AFAIU).
Gotosocial might be the better choice for single user instances.
I run Akkoma myself and it is nice overall, but I was surprised how relatively resource heavy it is. Lightweight is relative, and it is lightweight compared to Mastodon only.
I think the main advantage of Akkoma over other options is the extreme customizability of it.
I had forgotten about this one! I know very little about it though ... really appreciate the minimalistic approach.
Perhaps in a similar boat would be microblog.pub which might be preferable for people who want to hack their instance and are more comfortable with python, or want indieweb compatibility too.
