I love the idea of Friendica. Unfortunately I can’t imagine any of my friends/family IRL switching away from big tech social media.

You never know. 20 years ago I didn’t think my mom would ever figure out how to use email, let alone spend free time on an online social media platform. Nothing is forever.

I had heard of someone setting up their Friendica Forum with SMS and email add-ons (maybe they used IFTT? I’m not sure) so that their family members could participate in the “group chat” in the preferred way of each individual. They had indicated that eventually most of them switched to Friendica so that they could get the full experience. I’ve never done it though.

Do they have an android app? I mostly use my social media on my phone.

There are some Friendica specific apps, like Friendiqa & Relatica, in addition to Friendica having been designed specifically to ensure that it remains compatible with any Mastodon or GNU Social app, I have several installed on my Android phone, but I find that I personally like the mobile web interface better, at least when I have my account set to using the FRIO theme (this is the one that looks like Facebook, but Friendica has several very different UI themes to choose from) though I did recently start using it as a “web app” by saving it as such after accessing it via Chrome. Not sure if I’ll keep that or not because I really try to avoid using Google services as much as is reasonable.

Also Fedilab, which also supports other platforms like Mastodon.

Thank you for sharing!

I’ve actually started using Mastodon a couple days ago, and learned you can make a RSS feed from someone’s profile. Sadly, you can’t turn your own homepage into a RSS feed, but I am hopeful that will be added in the future. Hell, I started using RSS for the very first time yesterday, with Feeder. Now I wish every website had a feed available. Just having one tab open for all my websites/news is way more easier to manage and convenient than having to jump from website to website.

I’ve been surprised how many sites do, particularly those that don’t advertise they do.

I signed up in the last few days and still struggling with it. I would love the ability to add RSS feeds but haven’t figured out how to do that. For example, I use nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/homepage.xml to connect to the NY Times on my RSS Reader, but when I input it into “Find People” or “Add Contact” on my instance of Frendica it can’t find it. Any ideas? Using Venera.social.

yeah, that should work for add contact. I’d recommend trying just nytimes.com and see what happens. If still trouble I’d recommending posting in the support forum !helpers those guys are super helpful
