When my Mastodon instance was down I took another shot at Friendica. Here are my thoughts about it.

    Thanks all for the replies (I see one comment here on this instance, but twelve when I look at lemmy.ml). Nice to see more Friendica here!

      @serenity It’s pretty awesome being able to interact with lemmy threads from Friendica now!

      @serenity Well, I feel great that I can post and comment to Reddit with my FB account in this regard, haha ;)

      I am really afraid of not doxxing myself though, haha. On the former I am more vocal usually, while on the latter I am more personal. So now I have a mix of social identities that I use for both being vocal and personal.

        @serenity @petrescatraian Great to see that you can comment on Lemmy posts :) you had issues with it before, right?

          @anders I remember you had, I can’t remember, someone posted something on the Friendica support group, not sure if it was you or anyone else.

          Yea, I had the same issue as you. Indeed, federation between Friendica and Lemmy servers seems a bit problematic, I still search for my posts and comments on a separate Lemmy tab, unfortunately, don’t know if this is a Lemmy/Friendica issue or just related to ActivityPub, as f00fc7c8@libranet.de was saying in a previous comment. I am surprised that this comment made it through w/o such an input from my end, so wow! 😁

            @petrescatraian and this one made it as well, right? :D

            I solved the issue by spinning up my own instance :D it seems like a Libranet/Venera problem rather than a Friendica problem, because now it works fine for me.

              @anders wow, speechless. I guess you never know where the problem comes from, haha.

              I previously tried to force-load my initial comment to this post as well, but nothing happened, wherever I tried. 😁

                @petrescatraian indeed but at least i have access to the logs now if the same or something else will happen again :D

                you mean force load by searching?

                  That really is an advantage, congrats on your new server, haha! 😁

                    @petrescatraian thank you :D

                    i see. in my experience it worked with the link but it seemed like Lemmy users didnt get notifications when i did it and there for didnt reply.

                    anyways it works now (out of the blue) so thats great! :D
