@fxomt No worries. Thing is, on a serious note, that it doesn’t federate with Friendica, but rather Friendica federates with it (through diaspora’s own protocol). That means that you can follow Mastodon accounts along with diaspora accounts on Friendica, but you cannot follow Mastodon accounts on Diaspora (nor vice-versa). So if you want to keep tabs with the world, Friendica is the better option.
@sith As others said, Friendica is clearly a better alternative to Facebook. It has an interface that took cues from it, groups, pages, a calendar where you can create or join events etc.
