Oh, hey! Fancy seeing you here! 😀

I noticed it's gotten better since I registered, but still seems iffy. Works fine for 20 minutes, then slows down to a crawl again for a bit.

Do you know of any larger/faster instances? I'm looking into making a push for "leave FB" with my friend group, but I don't see this, with its performance issues, as something they'd ever agree switching to.

It's always cool encountering people you know in different places!

I will have to try out the smaller instances. However there are not as many options.

My observations on Friendica:

- The platform looks much more approachable with the Bookface theme.

- Creating groups is a really complicated as you have to make a separate profile and tick certain settings to convert the account type to group.

- I really wish Friendica had a way to toggle only friendica posts on the global view, as it I would like to see what the other instances are posting using the same kind of format.

- The platform could also really use an iphone app.

- There may be issues with finding your friends profiles.

- Friendica supports 4 apis.

- Friendica existed years before activitypub.

100% on everything! 😀

I haven't even consider an app not existing (currently only using this on my PC). They really need that - or a website that works SUPER SMOOTH on a phone.

(but, judging by how the website itself work, that's not a thing)

There's also a couple of other slightly annoying things - for example, I have a couple of PixelFed profiles followed here, which is amazing. Unfortunately, if I Like or Comment on their posts here, it's only showing up HERE, they don't get anything on Pixelfed. Not great, because - in the case of artists - it "fragments engagement" which could hinder their careers.
