For the first time this week, I honestly feel like the #Fediverse can almost replace the entirety of Big Social.

There’s only one thing needed: #Friendica needs a better looking UI.

If it could have something more sleek, then it would totally be able to replace #Facebook.

Making people aware is the most useful driving force.

Which is where stuff like Threads comes in. But at that point people are just going to use one service and the "decentralization" aspect doesn't truly exist anymore if one provider can control the majority of traffic.

We already see this to a much smaller extent on most mainstream Mastodon instances where they have gargantuan blocklists and if your friend happens to be on a banned server they're just S.O.L.

So finding a way to make fedi marketable without getting profit-motivated large companies involved is an important challenge.

@Chris Trottier UIs are perhaps first and foremost a matter of taste and habit. If more people use Friendica now, more themes will certainly be developed. A new one has already been designed (I can provide a link later).
In my opinion, however, more is needed to create new #Friendica instances. The existing ones will not be able to accommodate the "masses".

Somebody created a Facebook like UI for Friendica called Bookface (expand for pics&more info)


!Fediverse




Credits go to @Kristi H. for creating this style. It comes in both a light and dark version (check the links for usage instructions).

If you don't want to fiddle with code and stuff, loma.ml has already installed it server-wide*, and should be available straight away for new accounts (If not, go to Settings>Display>General Theme Settings and change it from there. Or follow the guide in any of the links above).

Edit: loma seems to require invites. But, while in german, joinfriendica.de allows you to join without an invite. It also has quite a bunch of add-ons too like bluesky, tumblr, ifttt, markdown, langfilter (filters the languages in posts/comments) and curweather (shows the current weather).
