Somebody created a Facebook like UI for Friendica called Bookface (expand for pics&more info)

Credits go to @kmh for creating this style. It comes in both a light and dark version (check the links for usage instructions).
If you don't want to fiddle with code and stuff, ~~loma.ml has already installed it server-wide~~*, and should be available straight away for new accounts (If not, go to Settings>Display>General Theme Settings and change it from there. Or follow the guide in any of the links above).
Edit: loma seems to require invites. But, while in german, joinfriendica.de allows you to join without an invite. It also has quite a bunch of add-ons too like bluesky, tumblr, ifttt, markdown, langfilter (filters the languages in posts/comments) and curweather (shows the current weather).
Just don’t follow much on Friendica due to a lack of iOS app. And only had one for android. For it to really take off, we need app development as well. This is a great step though as an easy UI will promote use.
There’s an in-dev app called Relatica for iOS that you can get TestFlight access to. It’s quite good!

That’s great news! Will check it out.
Yeah I would set it up for my family today if there was an iOS app. How many years has it been out and still no app?
@scrubbles What do you see as the advantages of an app over a web app?
@hollerpixie
Most people like to have the phone app for socials, makes it easy to browse or keep on top of posts more convenient. Honestly, I can’t really think of any social media platform that isn’t app based for this very reason. Goals for success: make it easy to use, engaging, and have an app with a good UI.
