in reply to harrys_balzac • • •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.

in reply to harrys_balzac • • •Friendica is very, very, very good. It's just that most people aren't looking for something that looks like pre-IPO Facebook for some reason.
Personally, I think they should be, but nobody ever listens to me.

Friendica, together with Diaspora, is a founding father/mother of today's Fediverse. 14 years ago it was still called βone Networkβ or βThe Federationβ.
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

in reply to Matthias • •@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!

in reply to LPS • • •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.

I suppose that's the real reason #mastodon succeeded. It was the first #fediverse app that was fast enough.
Sure #firefish and other #Pleroma branches are faster than #mastodon but those speed ups are nice rather than necessary.

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.
