Friendica – A Decentralized Social Network

Friendica is a decentralized social network that supports ActivityPub, Diaspora, and OStatus on a single node.

Commenters noted Friendica predates modern fediverse projects and compared it to Mastodon and Gnu Social.

Readers discussed self-hosting small social networks and recommended alternatives like Pleroma or Mastodon.

Some users reported past hosting attempts failed due to limited documentation and criticized Friendica's homepage for being too technical.
