Well, I'd have to say I'm swooning over #Friendica again, sorry;)

I absolutely love how many protocols it supports, including #diaspora

I'd have to say of all the #decentralized social networks I really loved Diaspora, for its interface and usability, it was well positioned to be a real FB killer, too bad that the Devs took such a bad decision to reject interoperability with other networks.

Anyway, Friendica still allows me to keep tabs on the network, both ways. Great job Devs!

#Friendica #Diaspora #decentralized

Friendica is better than I remembered

I'd have to say the #Friendica experience is snappier and nicer than I remember.

The ability to interact with so many different networks and protocols is unmatched, you can even follow RSS feeds.

Add to that an amazing feature set, and its thread viewing is so superior to Mastodon.

Viewing video links from #peertube works great inline as well:)

Oops, following this account from my Mastodon account, and it doesn't actually show that whole post, but instead creates a link to the OP ... that's not ideal:(

I have a feeling that if I create a post with a Title it has this odd behaviour, but if I don't include one it won't do the "below the fold"?

This is how mastodon interprets the friendica posts with a title from what I know. If you do not put a title it will show the full post. Perhaps this is a Mastodon thing.

Thanks for confirming:) Yes, I would imagine you're right.

More Friendica questions

HI #askfedi

Is there a way to add an invidious redirect to #youtube links in #friendica as you can with some #mastodon clients?

follow YT RSS from Friendica?

Hi,

Is it possible to follow YT creators and be alerted to new videos by subbing to their RSS feed in #Friendica ?

It would be amazing to be alerted right from my timeline!

It is super easy! Copy paste a Youtube channel URL into the search box and Enter. No need for the full RSS just the channel URL. Then you can see a Follow button. In the Notification area for that "contact" just select to be notified when there is a new post.

I just got back here after months trekking thru other parts of the #fediverse and currently getting tired of #mastodon and the bloat....I've always loved #friendica, but it seemed slow...maybe things have changed, thoughts?

Is development still ongoing?

Also, loving the #relatica app on android:)

@LPS

... likely to happen more as time goes on ...


Sad, but true.

... a project that fully embraces IPFS or something similar ...


I wasn't aware of IPFS; I'll have to look into it.

@LPS

I can't decide whether to setup a #friendica instance or #misskey on my #yunohost server, any suggestions?

@radio
SW is neutral. Users and instance operators are not. Pick the SW that meets your desire. Snac2 seems to be on the other end of the feature spectrum from Misskey or Calckey of minimalist verses full featured. Tell me how you like Snac2 if you try it.

Not sure what happened, but #friendica feels much snappier than the last time I used it
