Friendica's quite a comfortable platform. I get the feeling I could get used to this pretty quickly - and it's compatible with a lot of existing apps for Mastodon and others.
I'm coming from the whole micro-blogging experience, and over the years I've fallen into this habit of using hashtags and numbered posts to chain long threads together to track certain topics. I felt Mastodon and others did this incredibly well compared to even Twitter so I fit right in.
How would I keep posts together along certain issues or topics here?
I'll point out that I see people chaining their posts together on Mastodon from my Friendica account. But those chained posts are indented further and further, much like an email. I suspect if I did the same with long standing chains of posts, the indents would eventually lose meaning.

Cumbia
02/10/16 - The first IG post I ever made was a shot of some Cumbia 7" singles. ('Fat stack of cumbia ready to be spun this afternoon #disocfuenteslabel')
I was planning to spin them at a local vinyl' afternoon session. I'd bought a handful of singles from someone in Venezuela (I think), and they were all fantastic. I'd got into the Cumbia in the eighties, when I'd been walking through Camden Market and heard the tune off the coffee advert (La Colegiala), and picked up a Discos Fuentes compilation tape as a result.
Years later, on the radio show, we used to play a lot of the electronic stuff, including that made by Melbourne's Cumbia Cosmonauts and we had a fantastic afternoon at one of their parties once. Never really understood why Cumbia doesn't have the reach of, say, Ska - not being in English, I suppose.
