    @pocketvj I've liked Friendica for that purpose so far. Of the various Fedi options I have tried it is closest in functionality. It lets you have granular control of who can see or interact with your posts, lets you organize your contacts, can make long posts if you want of like 200k characters, supports making groups, also has a nice rss feature where you can add rss feeds as if they were a contact so they show up in your timeline and can be easily reshared.Features it has that are better than facebook are: no ads, no algorithm randomly hiding your friends posts, can be self hosted so you control the moderation (no more random post going missing for reasons you cant figure out), can organize your timeline by subject matter in addition to by who's posting (you can create and organize saved filters by keywords and hashtags and other parameters to create multiple kinds of timelines), has an option to pick from different UI styles (there's a green style one that I love, it's so peaceful and relaxing), and ability to bridge to follow and post with people other social networks too, even ones beyond ActivityPub. And my favorite: an optional anti doomscrolling feature, you can choose "pagination" instead of infinite scroll.Differences anddisadvantages: At first your timelines are quiet until you start following more people because there's no Meta force injecting "suggested posts" at you constantly. Timeline may also be more quiet than you're used to because it doesnt have addictive UI tricks to keep people scrolling 24/7 (but if you struggle with addiction this is a benefit. I regained hours of my week back). Because it's built by volunteers the default UI isnt as slick. I recommend going in the display settings and using the "bookface" display option which makes it more close to how facebook looks. It lets you control more stuff than Meta does, and some people get intimidated by having so many settings options. Because it's not an invasive privacy predator, it's slightly harder to just look up people you know, no one is required to use a real name, so I recommend joining with a few other folks you know so you can hang out together as you start off.

    5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.Debian / Ubuntu servers:sudo apt updatesudo apt dist-upgradesudo rebootFedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:sudo dnf update --refreshsudo dnf upgradesudo rebootIf you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.Always make a backup before performing upgrades.If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Mastodon #Misskey #PixelFed #PeerTube #Sharkey #Loops #Akkoma #Pleroma #Mbin #Lemmy #InfoSec #Security #Hack #Foss #OpenSource #Linux

    mobileatom@flipboard.com You've touched on a very interesting point. By the way, I've never figured out whether your Flipboard account will ever be able to see my reply, and to be honest, I'd be very curious to know what a Flipboard user sees when they receive a reply from the free Fediverse... Returning to your observation, I see the Fediverse as an integrated ecosystem, but integration doesn't always have to be symmetrical. [image: 1764879043010-31741512-04f3-4c0f-99f0-8314a4498402-image.png] To put it simply, Bookwyrm users and Peertube users aren't interested in viewing content from other social networks! In the Fediverse, there are programs that focus on one of the three areas in the image above, and programs that occupy two or more reference areas. For example, I find the fact that Mobilizon users can't see Friendica events much more problematic than the shortcoming you noted on Pixelfed... Pixelfed certainly "looks" like a social network, but it's primarily a place where users share their "personal art galleries." While I'm not a fan of dansup@mastodon.social, I recognize that he's making great strides to increase the interoperability of his creation, and Pixelfed has grown better than any other software in the Fediverse on three key levels: improving interoperability creating a beautiful and ergonomic app brand identity I'm sure he'll find a way to make text content visible in the future, but honestly, right now, it doesn't seem like a priority for Pixelfed's development and success. That said, your observations are a very interesting starting point for the development of software and interfaces in the Fediverse.
