I tried to host this a few years ago, but it fell through because there wasn't enough documentation.
I wonder if the documentation is more comprehensive now?

#12This is one of the least convincing homepages I've ever seen. It doesn't help that there are no x margins at the largest media query. In fact nothing about this page encourages me to spend more than one second looking at it.

Do we even need documentation with LLMs? :)

I guess that one day soon we will have a Claw that just pumps information between all the different social networks.

#16Wow, this is a blast from the past! I haven't touched nor done anything on Friendica since like 2014/2015! (Yes, this is one of the grand daddy of the original fediverse social platforms before the name "fediverse" was even a thing...like Gnu Social and status.net old!) Good on them that they're still going strong!

#18I’m interested in self-hosting a small social network for my family and close friends. Something to get us off facebook/instagram. If anybody is more familiar with the options, is this what you’d recommend?
If you also want to host or build interesting social apps, you should definitely do an isolated atproto / Bluesky service!

As for actually doing this... running a PDS and relay isn't that hard, and the red dwarf web client is online and can be configured to point to whatever appview you want. There's significantly less experience running your own appview, but there are options & folks are happy to help.
