Hello all! I am new to the Fediverse, and am currently exploring it all. Very exciting concept and future! So far, I am here on Lemmy (Reddit alternative) and Nostr (Twitter alternative). Which Fediverse software is the best Facebook alternative? Thanks in advance!
Friendica, apparently. I’ve never used it.
I haven’t used it personally but I believe Friendica is the thing.
Thank you all! It seems like there’s consensus that Friendica is the one. I’ll probably check it out, but I’ll most likely not end up using it, since there’s no way all my normie friends will ever get on there…
That really is the biggest hurdle for new social media platforms when there are established platforms already in use. Overcoming the inertia of having your entire network on one platform is a monumental task and requires a collective consensus that is hard to reach.
I wonder why Lemmy isn’t listed as an alternative to Reddit.
That’s actually strange… It /was/ listed there not too long ago, that’s how I found it. Kbin was the less-known site at the time too (about a month ago).
Nostr? I never heard of that one , how active it is?

Oof. Just had a quick look at it. It’s like 90% crypto content. And lot of it are obvious scams to steal your coins.
Nostr is very active, actually, and works a little bid different than Lemmy. Go watch this video, it explains it very well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIccRIEr2gQ
I was using Mastodon as Twitter as most of the people I used follow move there
I heard that Mastodon isn’t great because apparently it basically turned into de-federated instances with power hungry admins. But I haven’t tried it out myself.
Which fediverse software is the best pile-of-dogshit alternative? hmm.
Time for a new direction. You’re already here!
I use my local real world bar instead of Facebook
