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).
@Zero22xx There are multiple Friendica instances. You can check them in the Friendica Directory (in the servers section) or other more global lists of Fediverse servers like the-federation.info, FediDB etc. Friendica has groups too, but besides the !helpers@forum.friendi.ca (or probably even the !fediversenews@venera.social one) they're pretty much lacking activity (you're still free to post anyway, there are plenty of them).
If you need some help, you can also post on the former one by creating a regular post and mentioning the group with "!" or "@". I have also created a megathread with various resources and a small Q&A (it's actually vice-versa tbh, since the Q&A took the most space on it, but I digress) in order to get yourself started: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-2167-82af-600d-9ea129892452
@maegul
Made a quick account there to check things out and not sure if it's entirely the right fit for the particular use case I had in mind. It's very much inspired by Facebook obviously, which I was expecting but from what I can tell from a quick look, not the kind of Lemmy integration I was hoping for or imagining.
I'm going to keep an eye on this place though, so that I can start encouraging friends and family to join once it's easy and attractive (in terms of content) for anyone to join.
@Zero22xx It depends. What use case did you have in mind?
Apologies for the second reply. Just wanted to say that I checked out mbin and it's probably more up my alley personally.
But, I still have a barely used Facebook account because a lot of people in my country are still on it. And I'm going to see if the rumours are true and try to spread the news about Friendica there, hopefully without my post getting removed or account being banned.
And if / when people from there give Friendica a shot, then I'll give it a proper shot too with them. It'll just be used for different things than what I use Lemmy for.
@Zero22xx No worries! Whatever fits you best! :D I'm happy you found a place around here!
Hope Zuck doesn't create another streisand with this one, like he did with Pixelfed (or maybe I hope he does, idk)
I'll have a shot with you too. Or maybe two shots. Or maybe whatever gets me to hospital in coma (jk).
