      Why is there no Social Networks app category? Like Pleroma, Mastodon, etc.🤔

        @legacy Because those apps do not exist in the cloudron universe.

        Though to note: Nextcloud supports ActivityPub (it can be used to interface with Mastodon, Pleroma, GNU/Social, etc)

          I actually want to ask, why is there no social application? After all, it is happy to be with friends.

            @legacy There is Nextcloud which supports ActivityPub. It works with Pleroma and Mastodon (plus others) If you want something else, you can attempt to install PixelFed or GNU/Social in the LAMP app 🙂

            Edit: I've tested Friendica and GNU/Social in a LAMP stack and they work as expected, PixelFed works but requires modification to the LAMP app to run 100%.

              In case you would like it, I just made a tutorial on installing Pixelfed to the LAMP app:

                Open Source Social Network isn't bad but you have to pay for a module that keeps users logged in, otherwise they have to log in again every time they close the browser or stay away from the site for a while. It's a Facebook clone so it's fairly familiar to non technical people. I think you also have to pay for the LDAP support.

                HumHub is a decent option though it feels more like a business community site than a social network.

                  Is friendica a good option? I keep meaning to test install it but I never got round to it.

                    Mastodon is published. I've also pushed Pixelfed if you are interested, pending app store approval.

                      @YurkshireLad Since my comment, PixelFed can be ran without modification to LAMP app.

                      • Frendica is good, just setup the cron jobs properly so it federates
                      • PixelFed is probably a better option than Frendica but is much more complicated to setup and maintain
                      • Mastodon is already an app in the store - easiest setup.

                        @YurkshireLad yeah I've been meaning to try Friendica too. So far a few friends and I are using Mastodon but we're not quite in love with it yet.

                          I've been using HumHub for a while and it's pretty good. It has some quirks and the default theme is annoying, but it I like it.
