The Fediverse versus The Federation

#FOSDEM #FOSDEM2025 #SocialWebFOSDEM #Fediverse #Federation #Friendica

Friendica looks like a UI designed by back-end developers

We have had 2 speakers hoping for Mastodon to add (ActivityPub) "Article" support.

@reiver and a hint that there were recent conversations about when that might happen great to have folks together in the same place to talk about these topics!

"Obviously we [Friendica] need front-end developers [to help with Friendica] — PLEASE 🥺"

@reiver - my biggest complaint with Friendica is in fact that the ui is cluttered and confusing, with some of the most used functions (posting photos, connecting with contacts) not placed plainly in view. Diaspora seems a little better in this, but also has some disadvantages too.

@TotalSonic @reiver you can also look at Smithereen

The usage of the word "tag" in the sense of keyword metadata [and the "tag" in "hashtag"], came from del.icio.us

. @dave asking other people who make Fediverse software, who are interested in improving 'discovery' on the Fediverse, to reach out to him (so can work together).
