There are many #Friendica fans, and for good reason. Once you get past the learning curve from the difficult UI, you get to appreciate the extra benefits of built-in #Bluesky, #Lemmy/#Piefed/#MBIN, #Tumblr, and #RSS feed integration. It also has #Diasporia integration and some other protocol integrations. Of course, it’s also a #Mastodon alternative.

Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app, but it has Groups, which is built-in Threadiverse capability. If you follow a Community on Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN, for example, it gets categorized as a group and is placed into a separate section for the groups you are part of. Then you can read and post in the Group (Community/Magazine) just like you would on a Threadiverse application. You can also create public and private groups.

And there is no need to use a Bluesky bridge if the Friendica instance you are on has the integration turned on.

Here’s an excellent 5-minute video showing Friendica created by @earthman@my-place.social for those interested in seeing how it works.

    You don’t need to convince everyone to switch. You need to convince some people go join and build the user base.

    Once there are users, more people will join. Even if people are not active, if they have an account it’s easier to convince someone to add you.

    Think of it as a long term goal.

      Yeah, facebook started as just college students and built from there. It wasn’t always every boomer and every other boomer they knew back in elementary school.
