This is a Friendica group for discussing development on the #fediverse.
Joining and contributing to a Friendica group is easy. To share your posts to the group, follow these steps:
- Follow this group.
- To post to the group, post on Mastodon as normal and @mention this group.
- The group will then boost your post.
You don't need to be a Friendica user to join this group. Because Friendica is part of the fediverse, this group is available to everyone -- including people who use Mastodon.

I didn't knew this thing that you can't migrate your follower from mastodon to friendica ๐
From mastodon to pleroma (and i think also misskey) it works.

@[email protected] I understand your difficulties, but always remember that Friendica is compatible with ActivityPub BUT it works with a different protocol and its profiles are particular objects that contain a kind of unique key
@[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected] it used to work with a different protocol, Friendica has been ActivityPub based longer than Mastodon has been alive.
Always remember that Mastodon is well established to be a poor neighbor in the AP community, not supporting the full spec and often implementing their own non-standard solutions.
@[email protected] I'm actually pretty sure Friendica put up Activitypub a few months later than mastodon, but otherwise I agree with what you say.

Well, migrating followers (just followers) should really be a standard feature of ActivityPub then.
One that must be implemented by all the supposed AP compatible projects
Nobody is gonna buy the theoretical reach of all the same people, like real freedom to change fediverse provider.

@[email protected] In reality, when it comes to migrations, Friendica does much more than any other ActivityPub-compatible platform, such as importing all the messages and contents of the old profile...
Friendica cannot be responsible for Mastodon's flaws ๐คท๐ฝโโ๏ธ
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
@[email protected] @[email protected] Some platforms have specifically gone out of their way to support Mastodon's non-standard functions... that doesn't make them standard or a platform as deficient for not supporting them.
A lot of that has to do with the relationship between them, where many of those are newer platforms inspired by and emulating Mastodon. Friendica on the other hand is one of the old school platforms that looooong predates Mastodon, so supporting any of their non-standard stuff is a monumental task (it's easy to support something when you're starting from scratch)
