Comment on Friendica's marketing is terrible.

after seeing this, I do not want to get my hopes up… 😂😂😂

That’s fair haha. I definitely understand that. Building open source software, or really any software, is frought with possibility of failure. I don’t claim to be the survivor who will get through it all, that would be incredibly naive of me to claim. I’m just trying, just like others have tried before me :)

optimal management of Activitypub groups

I definitely plan to support groups. Do you mean anything in particular with “optimal” management? I mean what would be “suboptimal” management? Do you just mean an incomplete implementation?

optimal management of the DB: Piefed has made great strides, while this remains the Achilles heel of Friendica

Are you mostly talking about performance here? Or how do you mean?

Definitely agree images are important. I honestly question the value of RSS feeds. It’s not something “normal” users use. It’s very much a techy thing. I don’t know any non-technical person who even knows what RSS is or has ever even heard of it.

a registration system that combines the features of Mastodon and Lemmy

I plan to support applications and/or invitation trees (like lobste.rs uses). But more could be added I suppose. What features are you thinking of?

Do you mean anything in particular with “optimal” management?

I mean this:

activitypub groups must be implemented according to the standards, without making incompatible implementations as Misskey did (and as Mastodon will probably do)

they must be displayed in an intuitive way as Lemmy does (and as Raccoon for Friendica does), that is, allowing you to see a screen with the list of topics only and not with groups of conversations that distract the user

Are you mostly talking about performance here?

Yes, it seems that Piefed has optimized the DB well

I honestly question the value of RSS feeds. It’s not something “normal” users use. It’s very much a techy thing. I don’t know any non-technical person who even knows what RSS is or has ever even heard of it.

I understand, I myself have completely ignored them; but they are the cleanest fruition protocol that currently exists and enhancing them is important (and today every software in the Fediverse does it, with little effort)

I plan to support applications and/or invitation trees (like lobste.rs uses).

Nice!

What features are you thinking of?

Nothing special, but for example with Mastodon I can check the IPs of the subscribers directly from the user interface and I can easily check if the same email has been used, without entering the DB. With Lemmy I can customize the subscription page to give instructions to users waiting for approval.

I think you need a WYSIWYG editor. That’s what normal people expect.

Good idea!

What is a circle in Friendica? I’m not familiar.

In Friendica (and Bonfire) a circle is a list of users to whom I can restrict the visibility of a message. Unfortunately Friendica does it with DFRN, Bonfire I don’t know how it does it, but it’s very interesting to limit some interactions to groups of friends or distinct groups based on the type of relationship (family, colleagues, etc)

I’m designing and planning the system to support filtering and a good search functionality. Everything is accessible via the backend API (otherwise how?).

Exactly like this

Finally I add that systems like Friendica and Bonfire allow you to manage both multiple accounts (a user can create secondary accounts) and, consequently, also accounts shared with other accounts (delegated accounts). For example, I can create an account for my newspaper and have it managed by fellow journalists who have a Friendica account on my server; or I can create a “Group” account and have it managed by the moderators of the group
