If you have got deeper questions, you can always ask me, I'm in the development team. My opinion for Friendica is understandable biased, so I love mostly all features, since I implemented a lot of them by myself 😀

• Channels (both user definable and algorithm based feeds)
• Bidirectional integration in Tumblr and Bluesky
• Posting connectors to Wordpress, the network formerly known as Twitter and some more
• Import of feeds
• Automatic redistribution of channel posts or feed posts
• Groups (with integration to Lemmy)

@Elena Rossini ✏️✨📸 going from Mastodon to Friendica was incredible, like going from a tricycle to an Enduro moto, but if I have to choose one thing that I like the most, it's the fact that I can receive notifications not only when someone interacts with me, but also when someone interacts with the threads I have interacted with.

Then there are the terrible things, like the difficulty of use, but that's another story 😭

@Michael Vogel @Andrea Russo @Elena Rossini ✏️✨📸 I disagree 😅: Friendica's interface isn't the best, but it's fine enough!

I'll start by saying that I love Friendica and that, with poliverso.org, I brought Friendica back to Italy as an instance open to all, when it didn't yet have valid moderation tools.

Personally, I don't think it's worth investing time and resources to improve the web interface of Friendica, a tiny community, with just over 1,500 active users, because the web interface doesn't interest almost anyone and it isn't perceived as a value capable of increasing users.

Moreover, even if a bit confusing, Friendica's web interface has everything you need to exercise complete control over your user experience.

What could be decisive to relaunch Friendica is working on an Android app that can include all the features of what is indisputably the most powerful software in the Fediverse today.

And to do that, it is necessary that this app is aimed at Mastodon users, being compatible with Mastodon, and above all that it makes mastodon users want to try Friendica. How? For example with what is currently missing from all mastodon apps: an ergonomic and intuitive management of Activitypub groups

PS: I am curious to know what users who have known Friendica longer than me and probably better than me think, like @Elena ``of Valhalla'' @Fabio @anubis2814 and @Tio

As @Michael Vogel said, I am working on an app targeting Friendica called Relatica. I need to just bite the bullet and put it in the app stores for real versus just testing. I wrote it in a technology called Flutter so it actually runs on mobile (iOS and Android) and desktop (Linux, Mac, and Windows). DM me and I can send a link to the beta/early access program for Apple AppStore or Google Play store.
