friendica - Collegamento all'originale

Marek πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

I tried Raccoon and Fedilab but they both have issues. I found that the best way to use Friendica on my phone is to keep it in a pinned tab in my browser. There's probably a way to make the browser send notifications too but I haven't tried it (I don't want social media notifications on my phone).

Hoping that someone will improve the apps now that the fediverse is gaining some momentum again.

Yes!
It is fast and doesn't list all incoming postst and answers in chronological order without context - like you get in Tusky or Fedilab. Instead you have to tap on the main (first) post, which is shown in your timeline, for getting the full thread nice sorted.
Beside that, you have good features for adding links and 'ALT Text' when creating a new post or an answer.

Trying it out now, this post is from Relatica.
Generally it looks good, and I like it.
It does have a strange initial (I hope) issue with loading notifications. For example I couldnt find this thread, as the notifications I have in the Web client wasnt here. There were strangely only notifications up until 2 days ago. BUT the last update you did, after I had installed it actually DID generate a notification.
I have a feeling posts looks nicer here, but I will compare more thoroughly when I have better time.

friendica (DFRN) - Collegamento all'originale

Signor Amministratore ⁂

@Ruben Storm Let me start by saying that my favorite Dndroid client is... the browser! I like having complete control over the interface, and the browser is unbeatable. Furthermore, the ability to automatically translate posts in other languages ​​is essential for me.

That said, the best app for Friendica is definitely Raccoon for Friendica, although the developer is experiencing some issues with the current state of Kotlin Multiplatform, so development is currently somewhat stalled.

The elements that make for an excellent user experience are, in particular, the following:
1. Ability to manage multiple users
2. A formatting bar integrated into the message composer
3. Ability to view Activitypub groups, showing only the topics and not all conversations (a bit Lemmy-esque). This mode is available not only for Friendica groups, but for all Activitypub groups, from Lemmy communities to NodeBB categories, Peertube channels, and Mbin magazines.
4. Side-scrolling feature: when you click on a message in the timeline, you can swipe left and right to view other conversations, without having to return to the timeline.
5. Ability to insert images inline with the text, and not just import them as attachments (like in other clients), Mastodon-style.
6. Customizable interface colors.

Finally, all these features can be used by both Friendica and Mastodon users, because not only is Raccoon compatible with Mastodon, but Mastodon Glitch-soc users can also take advantage of the formatting toolbar.

Raccoon's flaws, however, are as follows:
1. A certain immaturity that leads to some crashes (fortunately less frequent than a year ago).
2. Some difficulties with searching, both on Friendica and on Mastodon
3. The fact that it still doesn't handle "reshare with quote", both the classic Friendica ones and the weird Mastodon ones.

@Ruben Storm

I find that the hardest part to get into Friendica. Every reply looks like a first post, no relation shown, so the timeline is very long and unordered. I scroll through a lot of items, no doubt missing interesting ones. It also keeps me from finding new people as it will only make the timeline worse.
