Friendica is a social network and one of the Fediverse's replacements for Facebook.

What does Friendica feel like?

Friendica combines a lot of the functionality from Facebook & Twitter.
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.
Once published a post can still be edited and updated across the network.
