A great review of Friendica.
I've been trying to write a bit to share with my friends about how happy I am with Friendica as my replacement for Facebook and other closed social media platforms. This person basically said everything I planned to say. While the instance I'm on doesn't seen to have the Wordpress or Tumblr plugins (which I would love), the value of streamlining my BlueSky, Pixelfed, and Mastodon in HUGE! Anyway, sharing this until I can spend some time on my WordPress blog to write up something more in depth.

Testing a long post
This is a test to see how posting a long format post from Friendica is handled in BlueSky. Friendica is interesting. The user interface is more like Facebook (from 10 years ago). It is Federated, so I can follow everyone I follow on Mastodon. But is also has a plug in for BlueSky, so I am seeing BlueSky posts inline with Mastodon stuff. And it posts automagically BlueSky.
The down side is that the settings and preferences are tricky (well more like VERY detailed) to set up. It is not what I call "Grandma friendly". But it has things like Photo Albums, Groups, and a Calendar. And best of all - long format posting capability.

in reply to Ruud • •Thank you. I keep meaning to say hi (to Friendica in general as well as you). I've been busy exploring everything Federated I can find for the past month. Has kept me busy running down rabbit holes and learning new things.
Thanks for all you do. I need to see if I can donate a bit when payday comes around. Really do appreciate you running this instance!
