Meh. Since you're here... How is Friendica? Should I try that? I read it's focusing on privacy and being a nice place, has communities and distributed forums, "relationship control" and add-ons.
On the paper it looks like it has many more features to offer than for example Lemmy. I'd be interested in the distributed forum aspect. Do the added features tie into every aspect of the platform? Or is it mainly microblogging with a basic forum added on top? And when participating for example in this Lemmy discussion... Is it a smooth experience, or can you tell you've left Friendica and only have basic functionality here? (I mean I can tell from over here, that you're from a different platform, since it includes the @ user mentions like Mastodon does. And I've tried Mastodon and I think it's not really a great experience interacting with Lemmy and KBin communities. Some of the structure of the threads gets lost in the process and comments from other branches of the discussion don't show up.)
