   @atomicpoet @netzhexe Does Friendica support migration between instances?

     @netzhexe It uses a different protocol that’s incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse.
     
     But funny enough, Friendica can talk to the Fediverse and Diaspora because Friendica uses Diaspora’s protocol too.
     
     So if you want to talk to Diaspora while still connecting to Mastodon, Akkoma, Pixelfed, etc.—Friendica is your best bet.

     @atomicpoet what about diaspora? I actually thought about setting up a server with that as a facebook alternative years ago, but never got around to it. It seemed a lot like fb to me back then. I'm probably not on top of things...

     Since PixelFed is gaining traction as an Instagram alternative, it’s a good time to highlight that there’s also a federated alternative to Facebook: Friendica.
     
     It features a Facebook-like user interface but is ActivityPub-enabled. This means anyone with a Friendica account can communicate with users on Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube, or any other fully ActivityPub-compatible platform.
     
     Friendica offers the familiarity of Facebook with the added benefit of federation. So, if your mom or cousin—who’ve spent the last 20 years on Facebook—are finally ready to leave because they’ve had enough of Mark Zuckerberg, introduce them to Friendica.
