Abstract

Friendica has been part of the Fediverse since 2010, building bridges between Laconica and Diaspora*, making it one of the oldest active projects of the Fediverse - yet Friendica has flown under the radar most of the time. After the great success of part I of the saga, Michael and Tobias want to present you part II.

In this talk, we will expand on our brief introduction from last year, showcasing additional features and the latest developments in the 2025 release of Friendica.

You can find the Friendica project homepage at friendi.ca; the source code for the core is maintained on GitHub, and the add-ons are maintained on git.friendi.ca.
