    Sorta like Facebook, but federated with activitypub, so it can interact with mastodon and Lemmy a bit.

    This blog post does a better job of explaining it.

      Friendica, together with Diaspora, is a founding father/mother of today’s Fediverse. 14 years ago it was still called ‘one Network’ or ‘The Federation’.

      It supports various protocols and can therefore connect different networks. You can integrate any other services via an add-on system. Since Lemmy and Friendica support groups, we can natively join the threads and play along with them as if we were on Lemmy ourselves

        Friendica is very, very, very good. It’s just that most people aren’t looking for something that looks like pre-IPO Facebook for some reason.

        Personally, I think they should be, but nobody ever listens to me.

        @lps In my opinion, from the fediverse point of view, the really interesting thing about Raccoon is that, since it is compatible with mastodon, it manages to give even Mastodon users the pleasure of using Activitypub groups, whether they are Lemmy communities, Magazines Mbin, Friendica groups or gup.pe.

        Mastodon’s design in fact penalizes users of groups, but this app solves the problem for Mastodon users too
