• How does Mastodon work?

  Mastodon is software for microblogging, like twitter. You may be more interested in Friendica (https://friendi.ca/), which aims to be more like facebook (i think). Not the same as facebook, just as mastodon isn't the same as twitter. They're trying to do things better with more privacy. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Stop

  To be fair, its not Mastodon, its the #Fediverse. Mastodon is arguably the least rich platfrom on the 'verse. IMHO Friendica is where its at, and you can still communicate with all the twitter refugees on Mastodon, as well as meater content on services likeDiaspora*, not to mention full integration with Lemmy (which works fairly similar to Reddit) while Masto you can see lemmy posts and replies without having to... - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

  Mastodon might be the wrong thing for you here, as it's more akin to Twitter. For Instagram you're better off with Pixelfed, for Facebook it would be Friendica. The advantage is that all of these can still talk to each other. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Will Europe Force a Facebook Blackout?

  AFAIK Friendica is closer to Facebook in function, with different community groups and such. It's part of the Fediverse too so kinda compatible with Mastodon. I haven't tried it though. Someone recommend a server? - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Our own social media

  After what happened, I think it's the time to craft our own little social media. Decentralized social media. I'm not talking about Facebook, Twitter or even Reddit. I'm talking about social media like Mastodon, Pleroma and Friendica. What we need is work together actually. Some of us co-op by give time to host and maintain the VPS or dedicated server, others maybe help by moderate it and others help by donations... - Source: Reddit / 9 months ago

• The open internet: The Fediverse

  As an example I visited Friendica and Mastodon, which both have nice listings of public instances (there's also FOSStodon for FOSS - Free and/or Open Source topics). The problem is, you have no idea about what's going on inside an instance, apart from the description. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Seeking Recommendations: Decentralized Option for Something like a Facebook Group?

  You could have a look at Friendica (https://friendi.ca/). The UI looks a bit dated, but other than that it is fully functional and is the platform within the Fediverse that is closest to Facebook in terms of functionality. It supports Forums, which is the equivalent to Facebook groups. Furthermore, it federates both with ActivityPub based services like Mastodon and also with Diaspora. What I personally also like... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
