Friendica is a social network and one of the [[What is the Fediverse? | Fediverse]]'s replacements for Facebook.

== What does Friendica feel like? ==

Friendica combines a lot of the functionality from Facebook & Twitter. <br>
You can tag users and groups, send direct messages, use and follow hashtags, create photo albums & events, like, dislike and comment on posts & re-share posts. <br>
Once published a post can still be edited and updated across the network. <br>
Users can also create multiple profiles, allowing different groups of people (such as friends, or work mates) to see a different profile entirely when viewing the same page.

== Friendica's special place in the Fediverse ==

Friendica is part of the [[What is the Fediverse? | Fediverse]], so you can't just communicate with other Friendica users, but people all over the Fediverse. <br>
With Friendica we really mean '''all''' of the Fediverse, because it doesn't just use the standard protocol ActivityPub, but also others and can therefor e.g. communicate with [[What is diaspora*|diaspora*]]. <br>
You might say Friendica has a bridge function between ActivityPub and diaspora*
Apart from the Fediverse Friendica can even communicate with Twitter and you can publish posts on  WordPress, Tumblr and Libertree.
