Pardon my ignorance, please but what is friendica? I've not heard of it before.

Sorta like Facebook, but federated with activitypub, so it can interact with mastodon and Lemmy a bit.

This blog post does a better job of explaining it.

Ahhh. I might take a closer look at it then. Sounds like it could be fun.

Friendica, together with Diaspora, is a founding father/mother of today's Fediverse. 14 years ago it was still called β€˜one Network’ or β€˜The Federation’.

It supports various protocols and can therefore connect different networks. You can integrate any other services via an add-on system. Since Lemmy and Friendica support groups, we can natively join the threads and play along with them as if we were on Lemmy ourselves

@Matthias @ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac I love #friendica, it connects to all the protocols.. Just seems the level of polish/design/marketing of #mastodon stole the show...let that be a lesson to devs everywhere, design matters ;)

BTW not sure how many people know #raccoon the android app on #fdroid, it's an amazing friendica app!

Although, it can't only be me that notices that #friendica requires a fairly fast #network connection to #work smoothly.

It's fine now I upgraded to GB #Broadband, but when I was still on copper, the lag was noticeable .

Outside that, I agree it has a lot to offer.

I'll try #raccoon though. I haven't really tried mobile apps for #friendica

Friendica does not pre-save very many things. It fetches many things at runtime. This places different demands on such a system.

Technically, it's incredible. For the front end, you need people from the community who are able to translate the complexity into a simple structure.

I've always loved #Friendica, but I had never found an app that worked well with it.

I'm trying #Raccoon now. Perhaps I'll begin to use Friendica more again.

Thanks for sharing that information.
