I'm still trying to get my head around Friendica and the overall benefit (or otherwise) over Mastodon.

I know they're both AP platforms, and I get that they interact with each other. I have a Friendica account - maybe I should just start there.

The only thing I can see is the length of the post and the ability to add files, but am I missing something fundamental.

#pixelfed for photos
#mastodon for words (and pictures)

What does Friendica give me?

#fediverse #friendica #mastodon
@Jools A big difference between #Mastodon and #Friendica for me is also the way threads are displayed: Friendica has a proper thread view, whereas Mastodon displays all posts and replies individually, jumbled up and without context in the timeline.
Friendica also offers many more options for structuring content: you can create topic-specific channels, sort bookmarks into folders and many more functions

This video series also gives a good insight: https://peertube.stream/w/p/4K4MWYXMEYUtVDqKjjq4Uu?playlistPosition=1&resume=true

If the special functions are not important to you and you are satisfied with Mastodon, Mastodon + #Pixelfed may also be a good fit.
