I agree.

Of course, today Friendica is the most suitable software for managing local communities, thanks to the support of Activitypub groups and event calendars, in addition to the possibility of managing accounts shared between multiple users.

However, it must be recognized that it is a cumbersome and counterintuitive interface. If you want to create a project of this kind based on Friends, you must plan for continuous support from the administrators.

At the moment I would not exclude Friendica, but I would also evaluate other solutions:

Lemmy

It is not a social network and users cannot follow other users but can only follow communities. However, it is probably the easiest software in the Fediverse and is made specifically for creating communities.

Mbin

The interface is still dramatically confusing, but users can also follow other users. If it were possible to modify the interface and make it more pleasant, it could be a great option.

I love Friendica and I manage a Friendica instance that is developing very well. It is a feature-rich software, certainly the most complete software among the social networks of the Fediverse. However, I do not hide from you that it has several defects of an ergonomic nature that do not facilitate its adoption. It is not a point and shoot social network, like Mastodon, but it requires a bit of patience. The learning curve is steep and the mortality of users is very high, but if you get past the initial phase of disorientation, it becomes impossible to do without it. So remember that the most important requirement for using Friendica is not to be in a hurry! In my opinion, you are right to invite your friends, acquaintances and family who frequent Facebook, but do not expect their enthusiasm. And for those who mainly use Twitter, I recommend that they go to Mastodon! Finally, I hope that you will like a guide to Friendica that I have prepared in Italian, which should be easily translatable with any automatic translator

I agree that it is an exceptional software, perhaps the best of the Fediverse, but it has a terrible name. The reason for this name was to mark a continuity with the first potentially federated social network, namely "identi.ca"

Moreover, despite the name, it is not a really friendly software, but presents several ergonomic complexities. Finally, I add that when I pronounce it with my dictation system, it is always transliterated as "free handicap", which is a very inclusive thing, but every time I have to correct it... 🤣

This is also why I decided to call my instance with a different name such as Poliverso, Too bad that a few months later Zuckerberg decided to launch his failed Metaverso project, which is why every time I have to explain that I did not call it that to parody the Metaverso 🤬

It is a framework, but also a software already working and usable to create a social and some document sharing modules. And in the future it should also have something more like Kanban boards or a sort of marketplace

Scegliere il Fediversoin base al proprio iQ 🤣

Secondo me Hubzilla dovrebbe finire nell'ultimo percentile, mentre Bonfire andrebbe fatto usare solo a chi ha superato l'esame per la MIT Bonfire Advanced Certification User... 😂

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, who has since moved on to greener and perhaps more dangerous pastures, told an audience of Stanford students recently that “Google decided that work-life balance and going home early and working from home was more important than winning.” Evidently this hot take was not for wider consumption, as Stanford — which posted the video this week on YouTube — today made the video of the event private.

Thanks for the mention. This is a very interesting and informative page for all users of the fediverse

You're right, sorry 🤦‍♂️ 🙇‍♂️ : the federated instance was threads.ruin.io, not threads.net

[–] informapirata 1 points 11 months ago

Yes, I think so too, but it is a choice that is up to the administrators because it can have dramatic repercussions on the maintenance of the server

[–] informapirata 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Um... that's not what it looks like from the relevant page: https://sh.itjust.works/instances

 

Hi everyone, I’m one of the administrators of the Lemmy feddit.it instance - my nick is @poliverso@[email protected]

Together with our fellow administrators, based on some impact assessments, we have decided not to operate any preventative block against Threads, but I am not aware that we are still federated. I noticed that your instance is federated to Threads instead, but I don’t understand how this was possible. The strange thing is that, from your instance, it is still not possible to view those dozen Threads accounts that are currently “federable”. So I wanted to ask you: is there a way to force federation?

Thanks in advance for your feedback, sorry for the inconvenience and best wishes for a happy holiday!

Is it possible to publish posts about Lemmy from your Wordpress blog? If this post appears in the @[email protected] community then this hypothesis will be confirmed!
