Finally got around to installing Friendica to see if could be my go-to platform as it can federate with ActivityPub as well as Diaspora and others, but in reality I am not liking the interface, and even when using it from the Fedilab app it is missing some features that I like from Mastodon and Kbin.
I won’t be keeping it too long.
Next step: Deploy my own Kbin instance. I really like the kbin interface, the only thing keeping me back is how daunting the docker install looks.

Be aware there’s a post and a reply to complete the steps (too long for one post)
They worked as recent as a few days ago when setting up my dev instance.
Thanks for that. It seems I would need to dedicate a VM for kbin, as I don’t want to make all those changes to the current VM, which runs other docker containers.
It seems kbin is only available as a docker build project, and so far I’ve only used docker images that I can just docker run (or deploy with docker-compose to customize a few things via environment tags) so this will stay in the back burner for a bit until I have some free time, in case I mess up.
But good guide, will definitely save it.
