From a platform diversity perspective, the mobile app expectation feels like a real problem TBH. It seems like it puts a pretty hard ceiling on the number of platforms that can break through to wider acceptance/usage.
Without knowing the technical difficulties, but I'd wager that building modular tools that make it easier to build mobile apps in general, and ones that are more platform agnostic, would be a massive contribution to the fediverse.
@Austin @Chris Trottier @Hank G ☑️ It doesn't answer your question about the app, but venera.social is available to join if you want to try Friendica out.
@gocu54 Friendica is a Facebook platform for the Fediverse. There's not many apps that are compatible with it, but you can use it with Fedilabs -- which I believe is accessible with screenreaders.
@gocu54 Friendica supports almost all apps currently on the market for iOS and Android. With Relatica, the special functions of Friendica are supported.
@traccer Which apps do you recommend I use for IOS? I hope there's one that's accessible with voiceover. I'd totally wana get involved if all seems good. I love this new way of social media.

in reply to Chris Trottier • • •One of the things that struck me exploring https://fedidb.org/ was just how low #friendica 's user counts are!
By total users, on par with #Hometown and #Akkoma.
By MAU, less than #calckey, #bookwyrm and hometown (and barely above akkoma).
I figured, seeing those, numbers, that they could probably do with some promotion or lift of some sort.
