Hello World
The mobile website interface seems rather clunky, so I might have to almost exclusively use this on desktop, and there’s no way I’ll be able to move family members off of Facebook and onto here since most of them aren’t all that tech literate…
Anyway, I’m Kira, I’m ‘weird’ and ‘mentally ill’ (read: queer and autistic with clinical anxiety and depression), have an ecletic yet childish array of interests and I’m gonna see how this place turns out - shoutout to @/l1vy.bsky.social for pushing this site into my radar

Raccoon seems nice, I've been trying it since I saw OPs post and remembered having seen something in F-droid next to Voyager (for Lemmy).
So far, the only issue I've found with Raccoon seems to be with notification settings. Although there is a setting labeled "check for notifications in background" (which implies a different behavior for foreground updates, when the app is opened), I discovered that the setting applies to both closed and in-app scenarios. I set it to pull notifications each 10 minutes (the smallest value in the drop-down menu), but I had to manually access the post list in order to see the new interactions. The "1" badge appeared over the notification icon a couple minutes later. For comparison, Tusky (for Mastodon) and Voyager update almost in a real time fashion when the app is open. I'm not sure if it's a Friendica limitation or a Raccoon limitation.
However, it's understandable that there are still things to be fixed, given that the project (on GitHub) is still about 5 months old (first commit was August 4th). It's

Edit: I'm fixing my typo "Raccoon" instead of "Racoon"
