A lot of people want full control over their social networking and choose to install their own Friendica sites - not a daunting task at all. Some go a step further and set up larger sites to serve specific communities or the general public. Any Friendica site you install is a step forward for the entire project. But before you wade in, perhaps you'd like a brief overview of the requirements for the various types of site. Read more here.

Running a Friendica site for yourself and five to ten other people is very easy. But maintaining a much larger server requires some expertise. You need to ensure that your resources are used wisely.

The volunteers who run our public servers want to help you escape from monopolies that spy on you and exploit your data.
They do that by giving you a new platform for your communications - and welcome everyone who uses their sites. But that's not everything they do. They also want you to think about privacy and freedom and what these terms really mean. They would like to help you go even further in recreating an internet that exists for its users. That's why they ask: Who do you trust?

There is also a brief how-to here.

... is a hashtag (#friendshostfriends) and a new way of looking at the social Internet.
If you don't feel up to hosting your own Friendica site (strongly recommended and very easy) the next best thing is to join a site you can trust almost as fully as you would trust your own - because it's run by a friend.

We're assembling a list of test sites for people to test-drive Friendica prior to installation or joining a full public server. You can find these sites here: http://friendica.com/node/31
Test sites can be implemented in various ways and may have restricted functionality. In general, accounts will expire after a set time period.

Friendica now has integrated chat in your browser window - similar to Facebook, in fact. An XMPP plugin called jappixmini optionally auto-subscribes to Friendica contacts and auto-approves them. You can add other contacts manually or even configure the addon to integrate Facebook chat buddies. We have a how-to on use and installation of the plugin here: http://friendica.com/node/29
This extension is based on work by the Jappix project.
