@ada I have moved full time to Friendica. The Mastodon->Friendica migration path won’t pull your followers with you, but IME they pretty much all came anyway. The UI needs a bit of love and it can have a learning curve compared to Mastodon, but it’s a much more complete experience and I’m really liking it.
It’s dreadful for quickly sharing photos and I really wish they’d make that process less convoluted, but I’m sure that will come.
And if you want, you can still get the Mastodon experience by using the Mastodon client or Elk with it.
@serenity @zeitverschreib @rom Thanks. Currently running mine on a raspberry pi 4 with 2 gigs, so limited in what I can give it. Considering moving it to something with more resources though.
@serenity @zeitverschreib @rom What sort of tweaks did you do?
@serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @eshep Exactly. Seems there’s still a lot of confusion about how federation works.
My issue with Friendica is that it takes several seconds to render the “timeline” sometimes. Tempted to move the docker containers from the RPi that’s currently hosting them to my M1-pro MacBook.
@Samlane86 @petrescatraian You can add a mastodon content warning with the abstract code.
For alt text, put it between the img and the /img text.
@anova There are lots. I have my own mastodon instance with Spacebear.ee. They spin up an instance, make you the admin, and you just have to point DNS at it. They handle the software updates, etc.
@ada I’m seeing this from my own Friendica instance running on a little Raspberry Pi on my home network. I rather like this vision of the future. It’s awakening the spirit I remember from the home computer revolution of the 80s!
@ada I’m old enough to remember embrace, extend, extinguish from Microsoft and can understand why people might be wary, but if the fediverse is to reach its full potential, then this stuff needs to be simple to deploy and right now it really isn’t.
