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, like, dislike and comment on posts & re-share posts.
Once published a post can still be edited and updated across the network.
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.

What are some advantages over Facebook?

Friendica is part of the Fediverse and as such, you can't just connect with other Friendica users, but with users across the whole Fediverse.
Friendica also makes it possible to interact with Twitter users.
You can also use Friendica as a publishing Platform for WordPress, Tumblr and Libertree.
