It seems like it should be sort of a priority for the fediverse to create a high quality alternative to Facebook, which is one of the largest platforms out there, and probably what a lot of people think of when they think of "social media", and yet, the marketing and overall adoption of Friendica is simply abysmal, to put it bluntly.
Hey all, I've been trying to get up and running with Friendica in a docker container behind Nginx Proxy Manager and connected to a separate MariaDB container.
We’re exploring the possibility of moving our citizen science community to Friendica for improved security and ownership. We currently run a wiki at helminthictherapywiki.org and have a Facebook support group with 8,000 members, although engagement is limited (1–4 new posts per day).
Been looking around this place properly today. And it's honestly looking pretty good right now with some nice theming options too. And considering that I've also been giving Bluesky a go, it's pretty cool that you can even link that account.
I am looking to migrate from mastodon to friendica because my mastodon server is shutting down and the idea of friendicas all in one platform approach fits my needs/wants out of my use case. Which is basically me wanting a personal account for my real identity, its not something im looking to use a lot just a way I can see the rest of the fediverse in a easy way that is separate from my internet identity.
I wouldn’t want to conclude a post about Friendica on a negative note - because despite its flaws, Friendica has fast become my favorite place in the Fediverse.
Friendica is, apparently, compatible with the Mastodon API so it's apps should work but it might not be a great fit and I've heard reports of apps not working.
I see that not everybody uses their actual names in their profiles as they’re testing out the waters in this new territory. The platform will take some relearning from Facebook to get used to.
