Friendica - your open and free social network
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the free social web. Friendica is a platform for decentralised social communication linking to other independent social and corporate services.
|
|
|
|
Friendica connects you to a federated communications network of thousands of servers called the Fediverse. Through various protocols you can interact with anyone on [Friendica]( https://friendi.ca), [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org), [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/), [Diaspora](https://diasporafoundation.org), [Misskey](https://join.misskey.page), [Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/), [Pixelfed](https://pixelfed.org/), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social) and many more. Receiving content from Tumblr, Wordpress and RSS is also possible. Friendica allows to import and mirror your content via add-ons such as ITTT and Buffer. You can customize and control how publicly or privately you want to share your content.
|
|
|
|
Being part of the Fediverse allows you to be free from data-harvesting corporations. Enjoy open social communication, independent of any specific provider.
