What are the reasons you don't want to use Mastodon?
too heavy for my server as i already host this lemmy instance and don't have enough money left to upgrade it
Pleroma in that case I guess
gotosocial might we worth checking out. It provides Mastodon-compatible APIs (so you can run Mastodon clients and UIs against it) but it's less resource hungry and easier to deploy (in my experience). The caveat is that it's less mature.
I would use GoToSocial
Pleroma should work, but I'd also raise an issue with GoToSocial about the specific issues you're facing as well.
From the criteria you gave mastodon seems like the obvious option.
