I plan to end my Facebook account before January 19. I like the format and would like something similar in the Fediverse. Also, I need a good Facebook alternative I can show people when trying to convince them to leave Facebook.

So what is the best Facebook alternative as of 2025? Frendica, Diaspora or Pleroma? Or something new and promising?

Friendica is probably the best choice. It's the most popular with the most servers and users, and is explicitly designed to be like facebook, and uses Activitypub.

Pleroma, judging from the FAQ; strives to be more like twitter. And as for diaspora, I don't know much at all about it.

I wish Friendica had an iOS client

Friendica is compatible with mastodon's api, so you can use the mastodon app. That's the only way i think of on iOS :/

You can also use the website as a PWA, safari has partial PWA support

It's so cool that in the fedi you have quite a few options for front ends/phone apps. Unlike other websites that charge for outside access.
