- mosaibahMastodon gets all the attention but Friendica's federation story is actually broader, it speaks ActivityPub, Diaspora, and OStatus in the same node, so your contacts don't all have to be on the same protocol, that interop layer is undersold.
- kennywinkerI’m interested in self-hosting a small social network for my family and close friends. Something to get us off facebook/instagram. If anybody is more familiar with the options, is this what you’d recommend?
- mxuribeWow, this is a blast from the past! I haven't touched nor done anything on Friendica since like 2014/2015! (Yes, this is one of the grand daddy of the original fediverse social platforms before the name "fediverse" was even a thing...like Gnu Social and status.net old!) Good on them that they're still going strong!
- swed420Anybody have familiarity with Friendica to know how it stacks against the common pitfalls listed here?https://www.noemamag.com/the-last-days-of-social-media/Seems like it maybe suffers from the "fiefdom" / portability issue that other platforms struggle with, but I haven't looked closely.
- interglossaI tried it sometime ago. I liked the interface but haven't found much of a community around it. It is very unfortunate that diaspora did not thrive earlier.
- AnonyMDI tried to host this a few years ago, but it fell through because there wasn't enough documentation. I wonder if the documentation is more comprehensive now?
- ulrischaFinally one project with php and mysql that I can throw on a cheap shared hosting. No docker of node_modules fuckup
- virgil_disgr4ceThis is one of the least convincing homepages I've ever seen. It doesn't help that there are no x margins at the largest media query. In fact nothing about this page encourages me to spend more than one second looking at it.
