Tobias Diekershoff, FSFE’s System Hacker and core developer of the Friendica project, along with Michael Vogel, also a core member of the Friendica development team, provide an concise introduction to Friendica in this talk.

Friendica has been part of the Fediverse since 2010, building bridges between Laconica and Diaspora*, making it one of the oldest active projects of the Fediverse - yet Friendica has flown under the radar most of the time.

In this talk we will give a short introduction to Friendica, its unique features and how it differs from other systems.

The Friendica project homepage can be found at friendi.ca, the source code for the core is maintained on github and for the addons on git.friendi.ca.
