Is #friendica a decent facebook alternative? Especially for groups - public and private?

What are the system resources needed for a few hundred users?

@lyda I have no answers for you, but I'm asking the same question. I'm in the "reading stuff on the internet" phase of learning about it.

I can already see that the biggest challenge for me will be persuading my fb network to join something new that seems more difficult. I like the comparison of the fediverse to email, that you don't "join email," but sign up with a provider to use email, and all the providers can communicate with each other.

@Definitely Doc D @Kevin Lyda Yes, Friendica supports groups, both public and private. A group is basically only another user account, but with a different settings preset.

Public groups can be joined by just about anyone in the Fediverse, including Mastodon users. (In case you didn't know yet, Friendica is federated with Mastodon.) Private groups can only be joined by Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams) users.
