There are many #Friendica fans, and for good reason. Once you get past the learning curve from the difficult UI, you get to appreciate the extra benefits of built-in #Bluesky, #Lemmy/#Piefed/#MBIN, #Tumblr, and #RSS feed integration. It also has #Diasporia integration and some other protocol integrations. Of course, it’s also a #Mastodon alternative.

Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app, but it has Groups, which is built-in Threadiverse capability. If you follow a Community on Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN, for example, it gets categorized as a group and is placed into a separate section for the groups you are part of. Then you can read and post in the Group (Community/Magazine) just like you would on a Threadiverse application. You can also create public and private groups.

And there is no need to use a Bluesky bridge if the Friendica instance you are on has the integration turned on.

Here’s an excellent 5-minute video showing Friendica created by @earthman@my-place.social for those interested in seeing how it works.

    My issue right now, and I’m sure for others as well, is lack of an iPhone app. I think Friendica is decent and will only get better with more adaption. An app would help with that I believe. Right now I’m using it as a web app.

      Maybe consider getting a phone that doesn’t require a paid developer account for the privilege of distributing software.

            Says the hypocrite using Google. ‘But it’s embedded in my every day’.

              That’s literally not my choice, as I said in the comment you dug up in my history.
