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 {{Internal link |target=What is ActivityPub? |link-name=ActivityPub}}, but also others and can therefor e.g. communicate with {{Internal link |target=What is diaspora*? |link-name=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.
