Ok, I'm being a bit silly, but not entirely. I use Friendica because it has three features I consider necessary:

1• Quote posts, now done by Mastodon
2• RSS/Atom feed reader, you can follow feeds just like any of your friends on the Fediverse and they show up in your timelines just like them.
3•Diaspora compatibility, its just nice having access to the entire Fediverse.

Yeah, that's it, the thing is that I don't really like Friendica's interface, I much prefer the one Diaspora has, so maybe Diaspora with added AP connectivity and a feed reader? I seem to remember more than once someone saying they wanted to create something for the Fediverse, plus there's a couple young projects, GoToSocial and SocialHome that almost offer this, they just lack the feed reader.

Isn't #friendica 's components available for use in other projects? I seem to remember that its creator made a suite of components available for building Fedi projects

I posted asking for help on this a bit ago, and while I didn't get any solutions, it did get my brain thinking outside of the box, and I found the solution, its easy, but proof that the UI, especially the settings layout really needs some work around here.

For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks

The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.

Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.

@#SpaceHost Help was nice enough to install the Bookface theme for my instance, and I gotta say its really nice looking:

That's the light theme, and I'm not often a fan of light themes, at least not over dark themes, usually I don't have a preference, but the dark I don't think is quite as good:

Seriously, I think this is much better than the stock theme, and should always be included.

Hey all y'all, just thought I'd toss a note out about the accounts I have here.
Yes, 'I'

This account is the admin account, any questions, comments or issues you have should be directed here.

@recall@taursnd.haus where I share any news articles on recalls I hear about no matter how small, and we also boost recalls when we find them on the Fediverse.

@taurnation@taursnd.haus is where I share all the taurs, lamias and naga art I find online, link sharing only unless it's a commission of mine. Currently it's a #friendica community, but I'm thinking of changing it to a standard account in hopes that it

@vextaur@taursnd.haus is my personal account, where you'll find everything from unboxing to music, random thoughts to memes and much much more

What's with the domain name?
Me and my husband ( @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe ) both have taur OC's, a cattaur for him, and a centaur for me, so a taur themed domain seemed fitting.
