@_elena Great post as usual :)
Do you think friendica can "replace" facebook groups in a similar fashion?
That reminds me that I need to setup a matrix instance as well!

@nrdufour thank you Nicolas. As much as I love Friendica, I find its UX/UI really outdated and the server response slow. I may try self-host my own instance to see if anything improves... but now I'm curious about Hubzilla (its successor)

@_elena Ah good to know! I'll give a try to hubzilla. Seems an exciting project.

Use the right tool for the job.

Hubzilla is a great decentralised content management system and website creation engine, if that's what you're after. For basic social networking, it might be a bit much for some people. It's not a social networking app your mother would use - unless you actually use the built-in CMS tools to create a social networking website that your mother would use. Building socially-connected small business and community/shopping sites is its essential purpose.

If however - you're looking for a fair simple Facebook-like replacement in the fediverse in 2025 that is years ahead of Mastodon in terms of online safety and being family friendly, have a look here:

Disclaimer: I created Friendica. And Hubzilla.

That reminds me - any plans to backport the support for RSS feeds into one of your current projects? For some reason, not even #Hubzilla seems to have kept that code...

@Carlos Solís Hubzilla can still subscribe to RSS and Atom feeds. I myself have subscribed to quite a number of feeds, blogs as well as Mastodon hashtag searches.
