Somebody created a Facebook like UI for Friendica called Bookface (expand for pics&more info)





Credits go to @kmh for creating this style. It comes in both a light and dark version (check the links for usage instructions).

If you don't want to fiddle with code and stuff, loma.ml has already installed it server-wide, and should be available straight away for new accounts (If not, go to SettingsDisplayGeneral Theme Settings and change it from there. Or follow the guide in any of the links above).

Edit: loma seems to require invites. But, while in german, joinfriendica.de allows you to join without an invite. It also has quite a bunch of add-ons too like bluesky, tumblr, ifttt, markdown, langfilter (filters the languages in posts/comments) and curweather (shows the current weather).

  • Just don’t follow much on Friendica due to a lack of iOS app. And only had one for android. For it to really take off, we need app development as well. This is a great step though as an easy UI will promote use.

    • Yeah I would set it up for my family today if there was an iOS app. How many years has it been out and still no app?

      • @scrubbles What do you see as the advantages of an app over a web app?

        • Sorry very late to this, but for me I don't care, I like PWAs and I put them as shortcuts on my phone. Trying to get friends and family over though that's a huge leap, and requires a very gentle hand

        • Most people like to have the phone app for socials, makes it easy to browse or keep on top of posts more convenient. Honestly, I can’t really think of any social media platform that isn’t app based for this very reason. Goals for success: make it easy to use, engaging, and have an app with a good UI.

    • There’s an in-dev app called Relatica for iOS that you can get TestFlight access to. It’s quite good!
