So have been testing over the past few weeks and made accounts on: a) Hubzilla b) Friendica c) Mastodon d) Kbin e) Lemmy f) Iceshrimp g) Bonfire h) Peertube i) Funkwhale j) Pixelfed
I’m only interested in moving my friends away from Facebook, and have the same fun we used to have as a group, for now nothing seem to match FB functionality unfortunately…
Have your own profile
Public and Private Groups
1 to 1 chats
And of course no one would consider joining a platform without a ( feature complete ) mobile app, Firefish is amazing but it has no mobile clients that look as a good as the website, and people say Friendica is the ethical Facebook, but it’s ugly…😅 i don’t know what to recommend ?
Sorry, should have expressed myself better, sometimes you’re not exactly speaking what you thinking … I was referring to the mobile apps, Friendica main app looks horrible last time I checked
@electro1 Which app more exactly? I’m not aware of Friendica having any mobile app. The web version seems more than fine. If, however, you want a dedicated mobile app, then check out Relatica.
Friendica also supports the Mastodon API, so you can also log in with pretty much any Mastodon app.
@electro1 they do need to update their website a bit fwiw. Friendiqa is not that great at all. But no, that’s not an official one either. They do not have any first-party app at all.
Edit: You can also find a help section wherever you might choose to create an account, or a wiki available at wiki.friendi.ca/ with more information.
And if you want to get more familiar with how Friendica works, you can also check out (and share) anubis2814’s videos on YouTube on the topic:

Have you tried changing the default theme? I changed mine to Frio Dark Blue and it looks like this.

This one called Friendiqa, it’s on top of other apps so I’m assuming it’s their flagship app
Oh this one looks way nicer, judging from the screenshots…
Idk, on their website they list a few compatible clients, maybe other clients won’t work well…
