    The tough part about something like Friendica is that it’s usefulness very dependent on how many of your friends are on it. You’d need a group of friends to all join together for it to stick.

    I had a Friendica account like 10 years ago. Kinda sad to hear it’s only 2.500 active users.

      Requiring people to create an account just to see anything is a sure way to immediately drive off any potential new users.

    I’ve been looking for a Facebook alternative. It was either Diaspora or Friendica.

    Is Friendica more popular? What are some of the most popular/stable instances with the lowest chances of disappearing?

      1. Diaspora* only supports diaspora protocol. It has about a few thousands MAU I’d say. If you use it you can interact with Diaspora* users and with Friendica/Hubzilla users from servers that have the diaspora addon. You can see a list of Diaspora* pods here.

      2. Friendica on the other hand natively supports ActivityPub, and has addons for BlueSky, Diaspora* and Tumblr (Not all servers have them enabled). It has 3k MAU, but you can communicate with much wider range of folk. There’s also the Friendica directory, allowing you to find interesting folk to follow much more easily. If you want a stable instance I can recommend https://friendica.world/ , it’s managed by the admins of lemmy.world .

        Thanks. Yeah after further considerations I went with Friendica. And yes I created my account on Friendica.world also. I think it has a better shot at surviving. But we never know. It takes one fuck-up and everything could go to shit.

          I would have recommended you mine or venera.social. They’re around 10 years old or something, so quite some time. But they’ve temporarily closed signups. nerdica.net and anonsys.net have also been around for quite some time, although the former had some problems last year and lost years of database. ouch.

          Then there’s social.trom.tf, which has some of the most wonderful custom themes I’ve seen on Friendica, but their opinions on stuff are a bit weird for me…

          For the rest I don’t know that much.

            I would have recommended you mine or venera.social.

            What is your server? Which Friendica instance would you recommend that is currently accepting sign-ups? I’m very interested in trying out Friendica to move away from Facebook completely.

    Let’s hope that there are also a few organisations that run Friendica instances so that the offer becomes a bit bigger. In the last two years, everyone has been totally fixated on Mastodon and many have opened a Mastodon server without realising that there were other options.

      Friendica was the fediverse, before there was a fediverse… And it was no different from other names of the era, like Sym.pati.co… DiGG, Reddit, etc etc.
