The diaspora* pod website is offline and I am looking for a good pod, any help?
Thank you in advance!
I use mainly diasp.org (currently hosting is down) and joindiaspora.com (new registrations closed)
Hubzilla. checkout the demo https://demo.hubzilla.org/
Last time I checked diaspora* was still not a real part of the Fediverse and maybe never will be. Of course you can choose to join d* anyway, but if you want to connect with the Fediverse choosing for Friendica (Or Hubzilla, though I found it not easy to use, with many options) which is kind of similar to d*, makes sense.
It’s still a part of the fediverse. Fediverse doesn’t have to be just activitypub.

What I was trying to say is that, from what I have read, d* software since years makes no effort to connect to other Fediverse software. They are on their own island.

Disroot uses Hubzilla and I did find it hard to use.
diáspora is pretty much dead. but you can have a list here:
I see, Im trying to find a alternative to facebook which is federated. Any ideas?
I have a pretty good experience with Friendica (squeet.me instance). Lately I haven’t been using it very often though. The problem is that I find the Friendica UI cluttered and more importantly the implementation of the ActivityPub protocol seems to be lacking since it missed a lot of toots from friends on Mastodon making discussions hard to follow. The Diaspora protocol in Friendica seemed to work flawless though. I wrote a small blog post about Friendica/Diaspora experience (https://homehack.nl/when-to-use-friendica-over-diaspora/).
I wouldn’t say that Diaspora is dead. According to Fediverse.party it still has over 60.000 users and in my experience the content and interaction can be rather good.
Friendica

yes, Friendica or Hubzilla basically. At least Hubzilla also supports connecting to Diaspora via an plugin, but to be honest compared to the ActivityPub plugin the diaspora one isn’t well maintained and pretty buggy.
I think Mastodon’s still what comes closer to a Facebook experience, with Lemmy being a good replacement to Facebook public groups
I see Mastodon as more a twitter replacement and Lemmy to reddit.
Yeah definitely, but as far as I know there’s nothing that comes as close to facebook as mastodon/lemmy, despite being still very different from facebook
Lemmy/Matrix
An addition to my previous post. I think that Movim can be considered a federated FB alternative. Movim is based on XMPP and has a Facebook like interface. It offers blogging, communities, chat and reading articles through rss feed.
This seems underrated ngl, thank you!
It really is underrated, but what can you do? It feels somewhat limited, but what it can do is actually impressive given that uses mainly XMPP. (Although it does it’s weird stuff on the side too…)
