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 Settings>Display>General 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).

@Blaze @morrowind Unpopular opinion: Facebook until around 2016 or so (whenever it added stories for the 1st time) was the best social network in terms of UI and concept. It's just Zuck that decided to just copy everyone, every single feature, cram everything in a single website and gobble all user data (and now he's also supporting Trump and free speech). Oh, and the ads. The stupid ads getting you everywhere.
Google+ was better. The concept of "circles" being the primary way of interacting with people was ingenious and far better represents how real people interact. My fencing friends are not the same as my RPG friends who are not the same as my family.
Facebook adopted this with "lists", but they're not treated as the core part of the experience that G+'s Circles were, so they don't get used.
I’ve put everyone on a list but there have been times Facebook has made it hard to even post only for that list
Damn. I can’t imagine having enough people in my life to make lists.
There’s something wrong with me though. I’ve spent most of my life alone and my biggest fear has always been centered around being asked to leave my space.
Of course when you get older that gets harder. I’m lucky at the moment. I’m a stay at home dad who goes to spend time working on various projects with my uncle when I’m free.
If he died tonight I’d have no social life at all.
I actually agree 100%.
Not sure it's that unpopular to be honest
@Blaze too many seem hyped about microblogging, though...
