Awe man I thought this might be a public service where they provide emotional support racoons.....

Pardon my ignorance, please but what is friendica? I've not heard of it before.

Sorta like Facebook, but federated with activitypub, so it can interact with mastodon and Lemmy a bit.

This blog post does a better job of explaining it.

@ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac
Friendica, together with Diaspora, is a founding father/mother of today's Fediverse. 14 years ago it was still called ‘one Network’ or ‘The Federation’.

It supports various protocols and can therefore connect different networks. You can integrate any other services via an add-on system. Since Lemmy and Friendica support groups, we can natively join the threads and play along with them as if we were on Lemmy ourselves

@feb @ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac I love #friendica, it connects to all the protocols.. Just seems the level of polish/design/marketing of #mastodon stole the show...let that be a lesson to devs everywhere, design matters ;)

BTW not sure how many people know #raccoon the android app on #fdroid, it's an amazing friendica app!

Technically, it's incredible. For the front end, you need people from the community who are able to translate the complexity into a simple structure.

Ahhh. I might take a closer look at it then. Sounds like it could be fun.

Friendica is very, very, very good. It's just that most people aren't looking for something that looks like pre-IPO Facebook for some reason.

Personally, I think they should be, but nobody ever listens to me.

I don't know if it's from the same developer, but I still have the Racoon for Lemmy app. It was sad to see them give up, I hope someone archived jthe community and the APKs. It was a good Lemmy app.

It got revived also! They're back on F-droid as well, not sure about it being the same developer as this though since I don't use friendica
