Mit dem Friendica-Account @Gerhard Hallstein bist Du doch auch mit #Diaspora verbunden? Ich habe jedenfalls von hier aus auch einige Diaspora-Kontakte.
Oder gibt es da doch irgendwelche Einschränkungen?
@blauerplanet@diasporasocial.net

Auf #Diaspora habe ich mir unter der Adresse https://diasporasocial.net/people/35c097d0ec90013d71e50a04ffb1b246 ein Konto eingerichtet.
Schreiben werde ich weiterhin hier auf #Friendica. Das Diaspora-Konto soll mir dazu dienen, auch die Menschen auf Diaspora an meinen Gedanken teilhaben zu lassen.

If you are on a quest for a blogging platform, you could also consider Friendica:
https://friendi.ca/
It connects to the Fediverse and much more (bluesky, diaspora, email, discourse..). It offers more than Mastodon technically but it is way behind in terms of design with its Facebook 2010 look.

Um genau zu sein @reticuleena
Leena Simon verfehlt dein Post, upps .. dein tröt, sry .., das Thema denn du schreibst #fediVerse und sprichst von #mastodon. Das ist so sinnbefreit und selbstzerstörerisch wie mastodon zu schreiben und mastodon.social zu meinen. Als @couRage'erin dürftest du verstehen was ich meine. Ganz zu schweigen von der Tatsache das du bereits (zumindest mal) ein friendica Konto hattest, also in vollem Besitzt einer reshare Funktion warst.

// normal modus on (wenn dieses Profil das überhaupt kann)
Ob mastodon eine reshare Funktion gut zu Gesicht stünde?
Warum nicht, auf #diaspora funktioniert sie super gut (edit: auch wenn mir gerade auffällt das es die dort gar nicht gibt und das Ambiente dennoch oder deswegen (?) dort super gut ist (oder war)), mich täte es nicht stören und die Diskussion über #interNetteEtikette und Verhalten hier bei uns ist:

• [li] a)
  Eh verloren den "die" schlagen mit ihrer erworbenen Twittermentalität alle hier in Scharen auf, sind mehr

und bevor wir die wieder gerade gebogen haben, haben die uns bereist X-mal um die Ecke gebracht.
[li] b)
Geht unsere dezentrale Idee, unser Ansatz, davon aus das er uns die Möglichkeit gibt die verschiedenen Internetkulturen so weit zu entzerren und zu trennen das wir alle möglichst friedfertig neben einander co-existieren können.
Sprich: "Leben und leben lassen" sollte wieder möglich sein.


Ansonsten nicht nur an dich eine persönliche Empfehlung die bei einem friendicaPromotionsgespraech mit @Mina just vor ein paar Tagen auftauchte:
Jede Plattform hat ihre Stärken und Schwächen. Mastodon ist ideal zum chit-chat. Und wenn du einen friendicaKonto hast das deinem mastodonKonto folgt bekommt das jeden Tröt den du kommentierst, fav'st oder boostes in die Timeline gespühlt. Sprich, mastodon vom Handy zum fast and furious und friendica vom Desktop zum dezidierten Liebeschenken und und vernünftigen Texte aufsetzen.

// verwunderter Modus on:
Deine Antwort schweift komplett vom eigentlichen Thema ab auf das sich meine Frage vornehmlich bezog:

reticuleena hat geschrieben:

Ein in die App integriertes Analyse-Tool, mit der man den Erfolg und die Reichweite seiner Post's analysieren kann und graphisch hübsch dargestellt bekommt.

Wir sollten nicht unterschätzen, wie viel es ausmacht, ob jemand schnell 'ne schicke Grafik für die/den Chef erstellen kann, um aufzuzeigen, dass sich die Arbeit gelohnt hat. Die kommerziellen Plattformen bieten das nicht ohne Grund an. Das betrifft sehr viele Bereiche.

Und ja, ich weiß, dass dieser Gedanke dem Fediverse irgendwie widerspricht.

🤷‍♀️

Last but not least:
Eine reshare Funktion für mastodon ist mir ehrlich gesagt schnuppe. Ich bin hier mittlerweile seit ~vierzehn Jahren ganz pragmatisch auf dem Trip nicht nur einfach das zu nutzen was die jeweilige Software mir bietet, sondern immer wieder work arounds zu finden für das was es nicht oder noch nicht gibt. Das ist so schön unbequem das meine "to think out of the box" Kapazität exponentiell ins unermessliche gestiegen ist. #Kruse nennt das Kreativität, ein Mehrwert der kaum zu ermessen ist.

btw
Drükos sind und waren Drückerkolonnen und ich war bereits hoch erfreut das "wir demnächst Drückerkolonnen fürs #fediVerse bekommen", denn genau das brauchen wir. Auch wenn wahrscheinlich nur @padeluun ⁂ eine solche Idee und ihre Konsequenzen vollumfänglich verstehen würde ..

Hi there @islieb? !
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.

The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:

Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:


It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..

Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal @all ?

Digitalexpertin über Soziale Medien: „Was nützt den Menschen, was zaubert das Gute aus uns raus?“ - Social-Media-Plattformen haben einen schlechten Ruf. Ginge es nicht auch besser? Und wenn ja, wie? Die Digitalexpertin Leena Simon hat Antworten.
(Interview mit @reticuleena
Leena Simon in der Wochentaz)

taz: Ist Social Media noch zu retten?



Leena Simon: Wenn man mit Social Media das meint, was wir alle kennen, nämlich dass private Milliardäre und Tech-Bros unsere Kommunikation organisieren und das nicht mit der Frage verbinden, wie Kommunikation gut für alle und für die Demokratie sein kann, dann: nein. Das ist nicht zu retten. Es war von Anfang an ein schlechtes System, nur darauf ausgelegt, Profit zu machen. Und nun trägt es auch noch dazu bei, unsere Demokratie zu zerlegen. (...)

taz: Das heißt, wenn wir Hass und Hetze und die ganzen anderen problematischen Aspekte der Plattform abschaffen wollen, müssen wir gleich den Kapitalismus abschaffen.

Simon: Nein, notwendig ist das nicht. Es reicht fürs Erste, wenn wir dafür sorgen, dass unsere Kommunikation nicht mehr nach kapitalistischen Gesichtspunkten gestaltet wird, sondern nach der Frage: Was nützt den Menschen, was zaubert das Gute aus uns raus? (...) Das ist der Schlüssel. Und es ist ja nicht so, als gäbe es keine Alternativen. Mit dem Fediverse gibt es eine gute, offene Alternative zu den kommerziellen Plattformen von X bis Instagram."

In der Print-Ausgabe werden dann auch noch unter "Das können die Alternativen" nicht nur Mastodon, sondern auch #Pixelfed , #Peertube sowie @Signal und @Threema vorgestellt und auch Friendica ("eher vergleichbar mit Facebook"), Pleroma , Diaspora und @Tusky erwähnt :thumbs up: (online finde ich derzeit nur den Abschnitt zu Kurznachrichtendienste)

Wer sich ansehen will, wie das alles mit den dezentralen Netzwerken angefangen hat, der kann hier eine kleine Zeitreise machen und einen Blick auf die Alpha von Diaspora werfen.

Die Software wurde einige Monate nach Friendica im Jahre 2010 gelauncht. Zusammen bildeten die Projekte Friendica und Diaspora die Föderation, aus der sich später das Fediverse entwickelte.

Vieles von dem was ihr heute kennt wurde mit diesen beiden Projekten bereits realisiert. Das ist also die Stufe nach dem Urschleim und liegt nun inzwischen 15 Jahre zurück.

Trotz der langen Zeit sind beide Projekte weiterhin aktiv. Die Entwicklung bei Diaspora ist zwar ein wenig eingeschlafen. Die Community gehört noch immer zu einer der Größeren im Fediverse.

@Christian Take a look at Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) in comparison with Mastodon.

Friendica is the oldest one, the biggest one, the most well-known one, the one that's the easiest to get into and the only one with dedicated (Android) mobile apps.

Hubzilla is the second-oldest one and easily the most powerful one, but also the one that's the hardest to get into.

(streams) is the newest and most advanced one, but also next to impossible to find for those who are Googling it or looking for public instances to test it (it only has two).

All three are very different from Mastodon (see the tables behind the link at the top of this comment).

Self-hosting seems fairly easy. All three are built in PHP and don't require much more than a LAMP stack. Also, all three can be installed via YunoHost.

As for diaspora*, forget it. All recommendations for diaspora* come from Mastodon users who only know it from hearsay from other Mastodon users who only know it from hearsay. In reality, it's slowly dying, and even big and important pods with lots of user accounts are shutting down. Also, it doesn't support ActivityPub, it can't connect to Mastodon, and it never will. That's a fully intentional design decision with very good reasoning behind it.

@brawnybunkbedbuddy With Friendica you can also communicate with Diaspora users (+ and with Bluesky, Tumblr, ...). With Diaspora you are only in contact with other #Diaspora users and with Friendica and Hubzilla, but not with the rest of the Fediverse.

Fediverse the ultimate neoliberal social engineering experiment

Where private ownership provides absolute freedom and lack there of is sentence to #slavery and submission to masters

Before you execute the messenger just consider a scenario then be as critical as you want, as long as criticism is based on rational arguments, not emotional metaphysics and characterizations!

Say you write a little book, you find a publisher that is cheap and quick and you only have enough to print 100 copies, and you sell them basically at cost. 100 people buy them, read them, pass them around, before you know it your ideas have been exposed to more than 1000 people. But lets also say the printer through some clause in the agreement can buy them all back, at face value, and then destroys them. In the fire all markings, comments, notes written by readers are also gone. Furthermore the printer can take legal action against anyone making reference to the ideas on the book.

#FEDIVERSE

No rules, but the servers’ owner’s discretion. No rights, just conditional access and entry to the guestrooms. Server owners are never accountable for material, ideas, arguments, documents, ever hosted, they can make them all vanish.

#Accountability #Federation Rules #Judicial System ? NONE.

To write a document, to explain an idea, to analyze a topic, to make a thesis public, or simply to express an opinion, take work, and work has some value, it can’t all be a waste of time. In physical world expressing an idea in public to whoever is listening is prohibited in the most oppressive and totalitarian regimes. Once an idea is shared it is no longer the property of the person that expressed it, it is shared by all those who have heard the idea. In #Fediverse “the owner” of the space where expression takes place is in the absolute discretion of the host. There are no repercussions for any owner removing a participant, blocking one’s access, even when shared expressions come from other servers, and deleting all content. And by deleting the initial content the rest of the participatns’ comments vanish as well.

#Fediverse, is the ultimate virtual simulation of an absolute and TOTAL neoliberal world. There is not a square millimeter that is public, it is all privately owned, and the rules are indicative, they must be obeyed by “guests”, but the owner is the ultimate authority that can decide whether you exist or you vanish, whether the material shared/published deserves to stay public or be destroyed.

Guests of fediverse servers may either kiss owners’ rear ends and self-restrict to owners’ ideas and perceptions, or risk being removed and all the content shared and exchanged be removed. So they behave accordingly, as subordinates to the dictators hosting the space they use to share ideas and information.

Somehow, very few people find all this disturbing, and in contrast to social media owned and operated by large corporations, many progressive, democratic, liberal minded people thing and act convinced that this is better. I have no clue what goes on in most corporate social media, long ago when I used twitter I don’t remember any post of mine being removed. As far as I can tell, as long as they can sell IDs, cookies, email accounts, and advertising they couldn’t care less what you think. Communists (authoritarian/totalitarian and libertarian/democractic), anarchists of all colors and flavors, never see so much restriction, sensitivity, and censorship as exercised in #Fediverse.

It is absurd, I have never seen or imagined that deleting and censoring people would have been so pervasive and extensive as seen on #Fediverse, primarily #Mastodon servers. #Diaspora owners seem much more respectful of guests and users, and less intrusive in their guests’ discussions.

So all I see here is a neoliberal social engineering experiment going well. If this cannibalism can be tolerated by the “left” minded people then this may actually work on the physical world as well. Absolutely NO PUBLIC SPACE AND NO HUMAN RIGHTS, just obedient respectful guests in private space.

Sad, very sad, unbelievable dystopia. And this is gradually becoming an isolated ghetto of the left that has little or no effect and affect to the remaining world. Just as in real political repression, you keep attacking what you want to neutralize, you force them to barricade and contain their collective being, till nobody can see or hear them.

So real social activists who want to affect and inspire “real people” will lark on corporate media among the many, while the self defined radicals will gather up in this private ghetto where they are under the illusion they are safe and away from fascists.

Smart fascists start and run #fediverse servers as concentration camps of progressive, left, radical, activists to self contain themselves away from society.

What are the differences between Diaspora, Pleroma, Hubzilla, Hometown, and Glitch? How do they compare to Friendica as far as features?

As for Hubzilla vs Friendica, I've made a series of tables that compare Mastodon, Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams). I've made them for those who are looking for a Facebook alternative in the Fediverse, but who only know Mastodon first-hand and Friendica from hearsay. But these tables are useless for blind or visually-impaired users, and I can't change that because it's in the nature of tables. Also, I don't have all data for Friendica yet. (In case someone sighted comes across this comment and wants to see the tables: Here they are).

So I'll try to do a Hubzilla vs Friendica comparison here. Hold on and take some time, for this will be very, very, very long. 42 lines of comparison with over 10,000 characters.

Friendica was created by Mike Macgirvin in 2010.
Hubzilla started out as a Friendica fork by Mike Macgirvin himself in 2012, originally named Red (from spanish la red = the network), then renamed Red Matrix. It was repositioned, reworked, massively extended beyond Friendica's features and renamed Hubzilla in 2015.

Friendica has native Android apps, a closed beta native iOS app and support for Mastodon apps, even though Mastodon apps only cover 20% of Friendica's features at most. Hubzilla doesn't have any mobile apps, at least none for iOS, none in the Google Play Store, none that could be installed on a new Android device and none with a fully native mobile user interface.

Hubzilla also also doesn't support Mastodon apps and never will. That's mainly because a Mastodon app can't cover over 90% of Hubzilla's features, including features which you need all the time such as file upload, image embedding, handling of connections and permission controls, simply because Mastodon doesn't have these features. Hubzilla would require its very own apps, and due to Hubzilla's immense complexity and wealth of features, a fully-featured, dedicated Hubzilla app would be absolutely gargantuan and just as complex as Hubzilla itself.

On Friendica, ActivityPub federation is available from the get-go. On Hubzilla, ActivityPub federation is optional, and on newly-created channels, it is off by default.

Friendica can integrate Bluesky and Tumblr accounts. Hubzilla can't.

On Friendica, your account is your identity. Your identity is firmly tied to your account. On hubzilla, your identity is independent from your account. It resides in a container called a "channel", of which you can have multiple, fully independent ones on the same account. This also allows you to switch back and forth between channels or identities without logging out and back in.

Friendica has limited capabilities of moving your identity to another instance. Hubzilla has nomadic identity. For one, this makes it possible to relocate an entire channel with all posts, all comments, all private messages, all connections, nearly all settings, all files in your file space etc. etc. to another instance. Besides, it makes it possible to clone a channel to one or multiple other instances. This gives you live, hot, real-time, bidirectional backups of your channel, and you can log into and use any of them. That way, your channel is much more resilient against instance shutdown.

If you delete a Hubzilla channel, you cannot create a channel with the same short name on the same Hubzilla hub unless the admin fully deletes your channel from the database.

If you delete a clone of a Hubzilla channel, you cannot clone the same channel back to the same hub unless the admin fully deletes your channel from the database.

Friendica has client-side support for OpenWebAuth magic single sign-on. Hubzilla has full support. This means that Friendica logins are recognised by instances with full OpenWebAuth support, but Friendica itself doesn't recognise logins elsewhere. Hubzilla logins are recognised the same, and Hubzilla does recognise logins elsewhere.

Friendica has some basic permission control. On Hubzilla, it is much more advanced and fine-grained.

On Friendica, you can set your profile to private. On Hubzilla, you can give permission to see your profile to anybody on the internet, anybody in the Fediverse, anybody on Hubzilla or (streams), anybody on your hub, unapproved and approved connections, approved connections, only those you specifically allow by contact role or only yourself.

On Friendica, you can set your list of connections to private. On Hubzilla, you can give permission to see your connections to anybody on the internet, anybody in the Fediverse, anybody on Hubzilla or (streams), anybody on your hub, unapproved and approved connections, approved connections, only those you specifically allow by contact role or only yourself.

On Friendica, you can set your timeline to private; as far as I know, this happens along with setting your profile to private. On Hubzilla, you can give permission to see your stream to anybody on the internet, anybody in the Fediverse, anybody on Hubzilla or (streams), anybody on your hub, unapproved and approved connections, approved connections, only those you specifically allow by contact role or only yourself.

I don't know if Friendica can give specific permissions to specific connections. Hubzilla has so-called "contact roles". Each contact has a contact role that grants or denies 17 different permissions. Permissions granted channel-wide from the channel role are inherited by all contact roles. Two of these permissions are for your contacts to send you their posts and for your contacts to send you private messages.

On Hubzilla, you can keep both everyone and specific contacts from sending you repeats/boosts/reposts/renotes with a line of filter syntax in a filter blacklist.

On Hubzilla, you can send any of your posts as public, only to yourself, to all members of a privacy group (which is similar to a circle on Friendica), to whoever is assigned a certain non-default profile, to one specific group/forum or to a custom selection of contacts. You can also define your default post audience, either one of your privacy groups, or your posts are public by default.

Hubzilla has three levels of reply control. At channel level, you can give permission to reply to your posts to anybody on the internet, anybody in the Fediverse, anybody on Hubzilla or (streams), anybody on your hub, unapproved and approved connections, approved connections, only those you specifically allow by contact role or only yourself. In addition, you can choose to let comments in from those who are not permitted to comment on your posts, preview them and then manually decide whether or not you accept each comment.

Reply control at per-contact level means that you can use contact roles to grant or deny permission to reply to your comments to certain connections.

Reply control at per-post level is optional and off by default. It lets you disallow comments on individual posts of yours entirely.

Likewise, there is quote-post control at channel level and at per-contact level.

On Friendica, you can report posts to the admin. On Hubzilla, you can't. This feature is currently being discussed.

I don't know about Friendica, but Hubzilla has a channel-wide filter with a whitelist and a blacklist, and optionally, it has an individual filter for each connection with a whitelist and a blacklist.

Hubzilla allows regular expressions in filter lines, but only for normal keywords, not in lines with filter syntax.

Hubzilla's filter syntax can recognise posts, comments and private messages. This is of very limited usefulness, however: If you want to whitelist certain keywords for posts, but let all comments and all private messages through, you'd have to use filter syntax in a whitelist. But in whitelists, keyword lines are connected with "or" whereas filter syntax lines are connected with "and" which means that you cannot combine keywords with filter syntax. There is also filter syntax for keywords, but these lines are connected with "and" in whitelists, too, and each line can only contain one keyword with no regular expression.

On Friendica, summaries or Mastodon-style content warnings are created with a pair of BBcode tags, either [abstract][/abstract] or [abstract=apub][/abstract]. This works for posts, comments and private messages. Hubzilla has a dedicated summary field for posts, but none for comments. In theory, it also has the BBcode tag pair [summary][/summary], but in practice, it is broken.

Friendica optionally offers Markdown for text formatting in addition to BBcode. Hubzilla only offers BBcode.

Friendica doesn't have or support polls. Hubzilla has full support for basically unlimited polls.

Friendica calls reposting "sharing" and quote-posting "quoted sharing". Hubzilla calls reposting "repeating" and quote-posting "sharing".

On Hubzilla, you can optionally be notified when a stranger mentions you out of the blue outside any conversation on your stream.

On Friendica, you can make a group restricted or private. On Hubzilla, you can give a group or a forum privacy, too, but by choosing the "Custom" channel role instead of the "Community forum" channel role, and you have to adjust the level of privacy by hand. The advantage is that you have fine-grained control over what exactly you want to be private in your group or forum.

Private Friendica groups can be joined by users on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and probably also Forte. Private Hubzilla groups or forums can only be joined by users on Hubzilla, (streams) and maybe Forte.

Friendica has a central directory of users, groups etc., the Friendica Directory. Hubzilla doesn't have such a thing.

Friendica nodes have their own directories; I'm not sure if they only list Friendica accounts or accounts and channels of everything that uses ActivityPub, or if they even include diaspora* users. Hubzilla hubs have such directories, too, but they only list Hubzilla and (streams) channels because they can only list what uses the built-in and permanently activated Nomad protocol.

In your Hubzilla directory, you can hide channels that are flagged not safe for work.

Hubzilla has an option that gives those who are permitted to see a post the permission to also see any media embedded in the post, regardless of the permissions set for the respective media in your file space. This was introduced due to the wide-spread issue of people uploading images and setting them or the directores the images are in to private, then embedding them into public posts and the audience of the posts not seeing the images.

On Hubzilla, you can give guest access tokens to people whom you want to access certain files or directories in your file space.

The file space built into your Hubzilla channel can be accessed via WebDAV.

Hubzilla also has a built-in CalDAV calendar server which can use the event calendar as a simple frontend and an optional headless CardDAV addressbook server.

Hubzilla optionally has "articles", long-form text posts with the same full text formatting capabilities as normal posts, but which don't federate.

Hubzilla optionally has "cards", basically planning cards with the same features as articles plus a few extra features.

Hubzilla optionally has multiple wikis per channel with multiple pages per wiki. Wikis can be set up to use either BBcode or Markdown as their markup language with a few wiki-specific additions in both cases.

Hubzilla optionally has simple, static webpages which can be formatted with either BBcode, Markdown or plain HTML. Hubzilla's own official website hubzilla.org is a webpage on a Hubzilla channel.

I think that's about it.

As for diaspora*: Forget it. For one, it does not support ActivityPub, and it does not federate with most of the Fediverse. The diaspora* developers staunchly refuse to add any other protocols to diaspora*, especially ActivityPub. One has actually said that you don't implement ActivityPub, you implement Mastodon. And the diaspora* developers don't want to make themselves dependent on Mastodon.

Besides, diaspora* is withering away. Around December 29th, a number of major diaspora* pods shut down. According to one source, diaspora* lost over half its user accounts in three days. And the closure of diasp.org, one of the biggest pods, is scheduled for April 1st now.

Quote:

Are there any other networks I should know about?

End quote.

From the same creator as Friendica and Hubzilla, there is something he created in 2021 at the end of a long and somewhat complex line of forks. It is officially and intentionally nameless, brandless, not a project and released into the public domain. Colloquially, it is named (streams) in parentheses after the name of its code repository. You can find the latter with an extensive readme here. It is slimmed down in features from Hubzilla, and it doesn't offer nearly the connection and federation options of Friendica and Hubzilla. But it is easier to handle while still having a steeper learning curve than Friendica, and especially its permission system is both another bit powerful and significantly easier to use than Hubzilla's.

(streams) has no mobile apps and no compatibility with Mastodon apps either for the same reasons as why Hubzilla doesn't isn't compatible with Mastodon apps.

(streams) is included in my comparison tables, too. If you want me, I can rattle down another comparison with Friendica like the one with Hubzilla above.

In August, 2024, Mike made another fork based on (streams) named Forte. It's basically (streams), but with a name, with a brand identity, as a project, released under the MIT license and with no support for the Nomad protocol anymore. It does everything using only ActivityPub. This also means that it relies entirely on ActivityPub for nomadic identity. Since especially this is still highly experimental, Forte itself has not officially been released yet, it is not recommended as a reliable daily driver, nor does it have public, open-registration instances.

Quote:

Finally, will the interface of the page on Friendica change depending on my instance?

End quote.

As far as I know, different Friendica nodes have different default themes, especially now that the Facebook-like Bookface theme may be officially included into Friendica.

What are the differences between Diaspora, Pleroma, Hubzilla, Hometown, and Glitch? How do they compare to Friendica as far as features? I've heard there are Mastodon instances that allow for longer posts, editing, and deletion. Do they also allow for extensive profiles with keywords, etc? Are there any other networks I should know about? Finally, will the interface of the page on Friendica change depending on my instance? Maybe, it's just a matter of changing that! If I changed to another network, I'm guessing I couldn't export my profile, followers, etc. there. Most importantly, I need something that is truly compatible with Mastodon, because that's technically what TweeseCake was designed for. Since Friendica is very compatible, I can use TweeseCake without any problems.

Fragen zu #friendica: Ich habe einen uralten #Diaspora Account rumliegen, seit Jahren nicht verwendet (schon allein den Benutzernamen, den man bei Diaspora ja nicht ändern kann) benutze ich schon seit Jahren nicht mehr. Die Freund*innen dort würde ich aber schon gern behalten. Kann ich den Account dort Exportieren und bei einer Friendica-Instanz importieren? Und 2. Frage: Welche Friendica-Instanzen empfehlt ihr?

What about #Diaspora ?

I think the development is bit stalled but it has potential.

I have an account since long time:
https://diasp.org/people/55b72bf0a0bf0135cc354986d5cbec7f

I connect rarely to be honest. But there is definitely an active (yet small) community.

I want an app that can post to Mastodon, Friendica, Diaspora and Bluesky all at once. That's going to 3 protocols (ActivityPub, AT, Diaspora), can it be done? Having to copy and paste to different apps is kinda clunky.
