Is friendica any good? I've never tried it.

@Quasit @MsDropbear42 tbh i don't find it easy to answer, in that afaict one's experience with it seems to be highly dependent on which particular instance one chooses [which is just a lucky dip ofc], what one's personal preference for a UI is [F is a bit "old fashioned", stylistically, & quite differently laid-out, functionally]. it also has a very large array of Settings, which is good for geeks, but might overwhelm normies, heehee. my least-worst advice unfortunately is there's really no substitute for needing to stick one's toe in the water, to find out for one's self if it is "ok" or "not ok", for them.

Fair enough! Thanks very much. I'm an old-time geek and early adopter, so I'll give it a try.

You jump back and forth more often, don't you?

@thomas @MsDropbear42 tis true. comes from the fact that they all have their pros, & their cons, & over time my tolerance to the respective ratios of those factors for the different fedi-softwares varies.

an analogy is linux. over the years i did much distrohopping, to learn about the range of possibilities, thereafter it was easier to narrow down, coz we have so many configurability options to tweak everything just so. otoh for fediverse s/w, as a mere user i have far less options to tweak, hence periodically the urge to hop returns. grass is greener syndrome, perhaps.

hi & sorry, anyone inconvenienced by this.

the #Friendica software still intrigues me, but alas, for a long time now this instance [anonsys.net] keeps experiencing very frequent server problems for me, which the Admin seems unable to resolve afaict. so, today i went looking again, & have created an account at another Friendica instance, with my new account being @[email protected] .

over my fedi-years i have tried several Friendica instances, & it seems that if the servers are going to manifest problems for me, the buggers seem only to do it after i have "loaded up" my account with all my Preferences, & ofc all my #hashtag & peep Follows... which thereafter ofc is a PITA for Followers & me alike if the server then goes wobbly. for now, as i finish currently setting up this new instance, i can only hope this server will prove to be robust 🤞
