Hello Fedi Friends! I'm planning to cover #Friendica in the next issue of my newsletter #TheFutureIsFederated and I have a question for power users.

What is a feature you love, that you wish new users would know about right off the bat? Or something that is not widely known and that makes Friendica really special for you?

Personally I love being able to follow my favorite blogs via RSS integration...

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this ✨🙏✨

My favorite feature was groups, both private and public. They create small safe spaces and large open themed areas.

I launched it to get a small community off Facebook groups, it did not work. Most complained that there was no phone app. There is real difficulty in getting groups to move together. It usually requires a catalyst.

I’d love to see Mumble integrated as an option to allow for voices coms in groups easily.

@Elena Rossini ✏️✨📸 I like everything about Friendica, but perhaps the most important thing is that you can create the closest thing to Facebook groups that you can see in the Fediverse.

@enzoesco Yes, this. I loved being able to post to a named list (or “circle”) of users.

I'm on nerdica.net friendica instance. i'm not too familiar with groups or channels. i also unable to vote in mastodon polls for some reason. I am using android app 'Fedilab' for my daily driver as i find the UI better UX, the boost/reshare is obvious on the app, in the web version, i don't know which icon is the boost/reshare and have to go through the icons to find it. Also, fedilab has built-in libre translation service for translating a toot into my language.

Friendica does not support Mastodon polls

Fedilab is a great app, but unfortunately it is designed only for Mastodon. It works with Friendica only because Friendica developers decided to support Mastodon APIs. However, it cannot support either the advanced features or the standard view of Friendica

> Also, fedilab has built-in libre translation service for translating a toot into my language.

It's certainly a great feature, although I'm still happy with my mobile browser's translation system.

@Jonathan Lamothe I remember installing and uninstalling it in the first few weeks of Poliverso, because it was giving me problems. @Michael Vogel do you think it works well? Can I try installing it again?

The first of my two biggest favorite features of Friendica over the other fediverse options are the post/comments idiom, more of a Facebook-like UX, over the status streams, the Twitter-like UX. The second is how much more pervasively it integrates with federated networks in general. It isn't just the ActivityPub fediverse that Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube, etc. rides on. It is also the entire Diaspora federated network, RSS's, and even networks like Bluesky (albeit using the client API not the ATProto federation system). It basically makes Friendica the hub of my whole social media experience.
