I wouldn’t want to conclude a post about Friendica on a negative note - because despite its flaws, Friendica has fast become my favorite place in the Fediverse.

I know I only addressed the tip of the iceberg with this post (Friendica power users don’t get angry at me). There is just so much to like and appreciate about Friendica. It's that good.

Who knows, with the Fediverse getting a lot of newfound interest, maybe there will be investments in Friendica servers... or fundraising efforts to support servers and their admins. I know I would donate instantly.

Would I recommend that people already on the Fediverse try out Friendica? Absolutely. Don’t walk, run: friendi.ca

Do you run your own server or just use a public one?

I just grabbed a public one - I've got test accounts on most Fediverse services but haven't done much on most. Friendica in particular is one that feels like it'll take a while to master and I've not put the time in. So this is a good question:

Is there a good primer on Friendica comparing it to, say, Facebook? similar/missing features etc?

You can try:

edit: @[email protected] might be able to provide more but documentation is quite skimpy.
