Hello Fedi Friends! I'm planning to cover #Friendica in the next issue of my newsletter #TheFutureIsFederated and I have a question for power users.
What is a feature you love, that you wish new users would know about right off the bat? Or something that is not widely known and that makes Friendica really special for you?
Personally I love being able to follow my favorite blogs via RSS integration...
I would really appreciate it if you could boost this ✨🙏✨

Als Antwort auf Dame_ • •@Dame_ @Hank G ☑️ Some Mastodon Clients work fairly good with Friendica servers. I use Mona for iOS and Mac.
No polls, no threads and notifications have no preview.
But you can read your timeline and lists, respond, etc.

How would that work exactly?

However, I still think that an app for Friendica has no actually market. But if you make an app for mastodon that is able to support all the features of Friendica you could even create the killer application for the Fediverse!
The real problem is that a well-made app costs 200 man-days and you can only get the necessary resources by getting financed by the Mastodon user community (or by looking for European NGI funds)

Als Antwort auf ⁂ Elena Rossini ⁂ ✏️✨📸 • • •@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 😭

Als Antwort auf Michael Vogel • • •@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 exercis

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

To me, the biggest feature by far is the ability to follow people on both Mastodon and Diaspora.
I love all the other features mentioned too: large posts, discussion structure, groups, etc.
The one thing I don't like it the full page reload when I post a comment. And the fact that it's written in PHP. I want to contribute, but I don't want to subject myself to PHP.

OK, I could use the aurora app of the f-droid store or APKpure.
btw
f-droid.org is as important as the #fediverse in my opinion.
It's my first reference for any app to know if it's ledgit or not. So publishing the #APP their first boosts #f-droid and the FOSS community too.

Looks like Threads was kinda the next step in this regard.

True, D* calls it "aspects".

They actually created even an own diaspora pod (node), pluspora. Came with their own culture and tried to impose it on the rest .. "a pain in the a**"!
