Friendica Test Drive
Hello. I'm wanting to ditch FB so I'm trying out some other non-techbro social media platforms. Is Friendica a good option? How about Counter Social, Hive Social, or Diaspora?

Hello!
Hi, I am new to Friendica! I like the inteface, I think this could be a great alternative to FB/Meta. The only thing it needs is a LOT more users. Could there be a grassroots, coordinated effort to make this a happening place?

@tim I've been noticing a significant influx of users across fediverse, be it Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy and, especially, Pixelfed. There are new users arriving, and it's a real organic growth.

Sounds like a good plan. I'm in a local writing group called "Shut up and Write!", we meet up sometimes, and sometimes writing happens. Write on!

Groups?
I'd like to create a new group here on Friendica, not sure how to go about it. I don't have the option on the right side of the Contacts page, as per the manual. I was thinking of creating one art and one tech group.

The image is not showing here either. Also, I don't see the plus sign either for the groups...

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day. A day to honor King, a great leader, a champion of human rights, one of historyโs greatest Americans. This takes precedence over any other events today as Iโm sure everyone will understand.

Friendica & Bluesky
Is there a friendica/bluesky bridge that does the same thing as the mastodon/bluesky bridge? Let's one follow bluesky accounts on friendica?
Mark reshared this.
Mastodon/Bluesky bridge should work the same for Friendica.
But there is more. There is a Friendica-specific "bridge" to Bluesky, which connects your Bluesky account to Friendica. This makes Friendica a Bluesky client, so you will be able to interact with any Bluesky account (not only these who opted in to federation to Mastodon) - as you will interact with them as a Bluesky user.
Go to Settings โ Social Networks. Do you see "Bluesky Import/Export"? If not, ask your admin to add it.
The same thing can be possible with Tumblr (which does not even federate!)

Thanks! Unfortunately that add-on is not installed on friendica.world -- at least not yet.

Groups - do they actually exist
When I ask people why they're still on Facebook they all mention closed communities inside groups. So - if I am to have any chance of moving people to Friendica we need the same kind of open or closed communities here.
But I can't really see where to create a community like that? Can you even do it?
Edit: What I want from a group is:
* Can be open or closed
* Members don't have to be friends to be in the group
* Group creator/admin can act as moderator, or elevate other people to mods, inside group

For me, at least, it's a barrier to using Friendica. I will maintain my account here, but it's something I know will scare people away so I will hold back on self-hosting or trying to make people join until it's more intuitive....
Actually, when I try to do this - register an additional account - I get an error saying that the passwords don't match. But I know they match, so...
Edit: A whitespace issue...

I haven't seen this particular show, but I whole-heartedly agree with his assessment of the BBC. The modern version is an absolute mess! From terrible accents (including in the news), to spelling errors on their site. I love the old BBC, and am constantly collecting clips with RP from there and elsewhere, but I have no time for modern nonsense. There are some exceptions (David Attenborough immediately comes to mind), but they are few and far between. That said, modern television and radio is terrible almost everywhere.
