    Ohhh is that what Friendica is?

    Friendica is to Facebook as Lemmy is to Reddit?

      Why not? It did a really bad job of marketing itself, and then I didn’t see it get mentioned again for almost a decade - when Lemmy gained traction and started talking about other federated/federated style platforms.

        I don’t think the quality of a social network is measured by their marketing campaign. Diaspora doesn’t aim at a critical mass of users. It’s quality over quantity

    What’s your Friendica experience so far?

    I believe it connects to Bluesky - how is that working for you?

    Given Hubzilla a try?

    I’ll be back with other questions later. 🤪

      Kind of the same as with all federated services. I’m faced by a list of 80 or so servers (the majority of which are tagged ‘Outdated version’) and insufficient information to help me know which makes sense for me to join.

      So my interest kind of petered out. Maybe I’ll have another look in a few months.

      I have been using the Friendica.world instance and I like the old look, it makes me feel like I’m back in 2007 though the platform is highly customizable. Friendica itself takes a little getting used as the like and dislike buttons can get stuck and the infinite scroll is disabled by default. The local tab is set to your instance and the global tab shows posts from other platforms such as Mastodon or Flipboard. I haven’t tried the Bluesky connection myself yet. So overall I would rate my experience good!

      I have checked out the Hubzilla instances but the events seemed a bit limited.
