It's a new record for the monthly user activity but not for the registered users (I think the peak was at 12k)

That one thing I’m curious about.

Friendica seems to be pretty solid as an FB-format replacement. But the Group setup where I think it can really shine is a little unclear in its operations.

It works pretty much like in FB. First you subscribe to a group, then you "post to the group" instead of sending simple messages.

I use Friendica group feature to follow Lemmy groups (this is how I got Rimu's message and this reply).

The point is, "native" friendica groups are not so common right now, the only big friendica groups I know are friendica's helpers, admin, devs groups. So, pretty much about friendica itself. You can find friendica native group directory here : dir.friendica.social/group

To have more, friendica groups one has to create groups and grow a community, people have to go there instead of FB, Reddit, Lemmy similar groups.

It's not a design flaw, friendica groups is just another offering for a federated platform group use case. The incentive to use native groups is all about developing a community around a particular topic, not much about the underlying technology I guess.

Friendica reshared this.
