It’d be kind of interesting to try and make a really polished, really good theme for #Friendica. I feel like that platform has a lot of what Diaspora users want, but a lot of the themes are missing something.
Honestly, my biggest problem with Friendica is it just kinda feels old. I rather liked parts of its interface, but its really terribly ugly, and its missing fun things like custom emojis and that sort of thing. But I like its feed style and a lot about it.

Literally unusable

This is a true story about friendica. I set it up, and I spent hours trying to figure out why it wasn't displaying the webpage properly. I assumed it was a problem with my reverse proxy and I was pulling my hair out why it wasn't loading properly.

Eventually it turned out that the default theme was so ugly I thought it was broken.

Ah, yes, back when the newer theme was still in "beta" so the default theme was still the previous one. We only made the default theme switch recently, so your installing experience might be different if you tried again.
