   Best open-source software distributed social network

   Best Thing is Friendica is a free and open-source software distributed social network. It forms one part of the Fediverse, an interconnected and decentralized network of independently operated servers

• AltStore PAL, the first alternative app marketplace on iPhone, is available now

  Offtopic: a while ago the mastodon web interface changed so you had to enable javascript to see anything. I stopped reading mastodon links. I've just noticed that the server will cough up the post if you add "/embed" to the url.

  If you're not aware, the author is Doug Gregor, one of the leads on the Swift team at Apple and parts 1 to 5 in this series were all posted on the same day: https://mastodon.social/@dgregor79@sfba.social/112253040283087966. - Source: Hacker News / 6 days ago

• IGBA: GBA and GBC Retro Emulator on Apple App Store

  Message from iGBA creator: https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut/112268412745806214 > So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking) >I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me.... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Threads on Mastodon and the Bright Future of the Fediverse

  If you use Mastodon, I'd really urge you to try Phanpy. It's not just a great Mastodon client - it has a few genuinely innovative interaction patterns that work really well. Really hard to believe that it's pretty much made by one person, given how polished and full-featured it is: https://mastodon.social/@cheeaun. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• Facebook Groups alternatives?

  You might want to look into some of the Facebook-like open-source social networking programs like Friendica, Hubzilla, Libervia, or GNU Social. Source: 4 months ago

• We need a Facebook groups style decentralized alternative. Does one exist?

  I think that Friendi.ca is the fediverse equivalent of FB, in the same way that Mastodon is to twitter. https://friendi.ca. Source: 10 months ago

• Looking for a “news aggregater”.

  In addition to what has been said, you can also use Friendica, another great decentralized alternative (server list). It supports RSS, along with being a regular social network. Source: 10 months ago

• 📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️

  Facebook being whatever it is would be friendi.ca. Source: 11 months ago

• Open Source Social Network php based social networking software

  Given the similarity to FB, what's the advantage over Friendica or Hubzilla? Both support federation with other servers and can be run as a closed community too. Source: 11 months ago
