The issue is going to be: what are my friends already using? Can I find and friend all my new acquaintances on this platform?
It’s not so much whether or not it has the capacity to be a great service, it’s what is the current population on the service? That’s what people are really asking.
If there’s not millions on it already, most are going to pass on it.
We’re on Lemmy, that puts us a bit outside of that perspective, but that’s still going to be your fat middle of the bell curve on peoples willingness to move.
Maybe blue sky? I've seen quite a few family/friends move lately and it's made subscribing to them via mastodon/mastodon adjacent like GoToSocial workable.
A microblog app is not what I'm looking for.
GL!
I wish Friendica had an iOS client
It's so cool that in the fedi you have quite a few options for front ends/phone apps. Unlike other websites that charge for outside access.
Thanks! Yeah, I realized Pleroma isn't what I was looking for.
@fxomt
It does federate. With Friendica, lol (because it also uses their protocol though).
@sith
@petrescatraian @fxomt @sith Diaspora is part of Fediverse https://fediverse.party/en/diaspora/
@fxomt No worries. Thing is, on a serious note, that it doesn't federate with Friendica, but rather Friendica federates with it (through diaspora's own protocol). That means that you can follow Mastodon accounts along with diaspora accounts on Friendica, but you cannot follow Mastodon accounts on Diaspora (nor vice-versa). So if you want to keep tabs with the world, Friendica is the better option.
