This is good growth for such a smaller lesser known fedi project that replaces Facebook.

    I had a Friendica account like 10 years ago. Kinda sad to hear it’s only 2.500 active users.

      Requiring people to create an account just to see anything is a sure way to immediately drive off any potential new users.

          If your bar for a good site is “it’s as good as Facebook”, you should raise your standards.

            It is a Facebook alternative, after all. But now that you’re speaking, I think it would work if a link to the community page would be visible straight from the login page. You can still see the public feed as of speaking, but you have to go to instance.address/community to see it.

              Yes, alternative. Why would you want an alternative? Because you’re unhappy with it.

              You can still see the public feed as of speaking, but you have to go to instance.address/community to see it.

              That’s great except there’s no way to know that by the home page.

        Isn’t that what you want for a Facebook replacement though?

        I guess being able to browse public profiles and posts would be good, but if it’s like Facebook then wouldn’t most people be using their real names and posting about semi-personal IRL stuff?

        You’d want that stuff to only show for your friends, and maybe friends of friends

          I mean you could use totally fake and made up profiles, I just want to see what the UI looks like and maybe literally anything about the site and how it works?
