What is Friendica?
Friendica is a distributed social network application. Which allow users to connect with others via their own Friendica server, but may also fully integrate contacts from other platforms including Twitter, diaspora*, Pump.io and StatusNet into their 'newsfeed'. In addition to these two way connections, users can also use Friendica as a publishing platform to post content to Google+, Google Buzz, WordPress, Tumblr, GNU-social, and Libertree. The list of supported networks is growing. In addition, e-mail contacts and RSS feeds can be integrated.
The developers argue that decentralization on small servers is a key condition for the freedom of users and their self-determination.
There are two options to choose from to try Friendica. The first option is to join one of the already installed Friendica server listed at http://dir.friendica.social/servers The second option is to install your own server at https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases Both options are fully free.
Friendica runs on commodity hosting platforms powered by PHP/MySQL/Apache. If you can install Drupal or Wordpress you can probably install Friendica. A single Friendica installation supports up to several thousand members.
Every Friendica installation can connect with any other to create a social network without limits. And one that nobody can own or control.

Comments and Reviews
It's feature rich, it natively supports the ActivityPub protocol and it has addons for Diaspora*, Tumblr and BlueSky enabled on some servers, so there's a lot of folk to interact with. Friendica also supports groups and creating posts with rich markdown, among other things. I also like "Friendica directory" it allows you to easily find other Friendica users/groups to follow. There's no official mobile app, but Raccoon for Friendica is pretty good for Android, and I've heard about Relatica for IOS.
I’m not sure I do. You have a bunch of different servers or you make your own.
For me, though it says you can do groups...and the “screenshots” look good, the fact that you have to apply to a server or make your own server is not a good choice for someone like me.
If you're here after Facebook dropped the moderation standards then you're in the right place. Friendica is a great fediverse alternative as it has lots of features and has been development for a long time.
Few days using it, and very nice!

Great Alternative! It's as easy to install as a Wordpress-blog! Just download Zip, unpack on sftp-webspace, get mysql-database and go. Compatible to ALL other alternative social networks.
The site is friendica.com and the product is called friendica. I have no idea how to change this, other than remove this entrie and create a correct one?
fixed it for ya buddy =), didnt touch twitter though because i dunno if that's changed too
