There are many #Friendica fans, and for good reason. Once you get past the learning curve from the difficult UI, you get to appreciate the extra benefits of built-in #Bluesky, #Lemmy/#Piefed/#MBIN, #Tumblr, and #RSS feed integration. It also has #Diasporia integration and some other protocol integrations. Of course, it’s also a #Mastodon alternative.

Nobody ever mentions Friendica as being a #Threadiverse app, but it has Groups, which is built-in Threadiverse capability. If you follow a Community on Lemmy/Piefed/MBIN, for example, it gets categorized as a group and is placed into a separate section for the groups you are part of. Then you can read and post in the Group (Community/Magazine) just like you would on a Threadiverse application. You can also create public and private groups.

And there is no need to use a Bluesky bridge if the Friendica instance you are on has the integration turned on.

Here’s an excellent 5-minute video showing Friendica created by @[email protected] for those interested in seeing how it works.

    What the Hell is a Threadiverse? Maybe we don’t give a corporate entity branding and credit for a network we built well before they ever came along.

      What corporate entity is supposed to own the term “threadiverse”? It’s simply a portmanteau of fediverse and thread.

        Jerry already caught me up.

        To those who haven’t heard it before, it sounds like a way to note that Threads can interope with the Fediverse, now (I can see people who were super excited about Meta joining doing that).

        Maybe it being capitalized also made it the first thing my brain jumped to.

        In any case, I was mistaken and just hadn’t heard of the term before; just ignore my original comments, basically: they’re wrong.
