The name of this product is terrible, sounds like some disease
Welcome to open source softwares!
Judge me. Here are some names I can think of:
- Connect (or some dumb spelling like connekt because it’s trendy)
- SocCenter (social center)
- Open Doors (or some variant)
I’m out of ideas.
SocCenter sounds like sock center, your application of choice for everything socks
openfloat openflow openfast openflight
How about Boat4Sale? I mean realistically in 5 years or less that’s what most socials devolve into anyway…
SocialPoops
In a lot of balkan languages this is similar to how you would say girl friend (we spell it frendica) so it’s kind of interesting
Friendica needs more love.
It has the potential to be the fediverse app, allowing users to curate content from any other ActivityPub platform in one app only. Do you want to see and interact with communities from Lemmy and photos from PixelFeed? Do you want only Mastodon and PixelFeed? Or Lemmy and PeerTube?
I know you can do that with other platforms, but they maintain their own content visualization, like viewing a Lemmy post in Mastodon looks odd.
I like the idea of separate tabs to see different content the right way.
Also, it’s easier to install. I remember the old days when Friendica used to be in Softaculous and other auto installers used in shared hostings.
Friendica is a Facebook-like app? Which means you use your real identity and connect to real life friends. This also means all that data gets passed around to any instance that wants it via activity pub. Given the potential for abuse there that is just inherent to the app, I don’t think I would ever be interested in a service like Friendica.
I don’t know much about Friendica, does it have a website/pwa that I can try?
Or does it need a party to create a site like Lemmy?
