@_elena @dansup @cheeaun @ivory @phanpy @IceCubesApp Friendica is better than mastodon, just has terrible marketing/naming. Has all the best features of nearly every single social media site ever made, AND it connects with diaspora which is where all the G+ folks migrated to.
Apparently Friendica sounds cool in French and German who are the largest users, but to English speakers it sounds like an even cheaper knockoff of friendster. Its also the oldest operating member of the fediverse and is 6 years older than mastodon. Its other weakness is that it does not take donations, only donations in time from devs so it takes longer to get things fixed but its reached a critical mass of devs now that have fixed and exceeded all the bugs that plagued it for so long.
