Friendica also has long had support for federation with Diaspora, and both the OStatus and ActivityPub protocols, plus extensions to read many other social networking and link aggregation services.

@f00fc7c8@kind.social A GNU Social account is still able to follow an account on Diaspora the software (D*). D* accounts cannot follow OStatus accounts and GS followers of a D* account cannot reply to posts, the D* feed is just a news feed. Here's why: OStatus is a stack of protocols: 1. WebFinger 2. Atom 3. ActivityStreams v1 4. WebSub (PubSubHubbub at the time) 5. Salmon Diaspora of 2010 did these too, but slightly differently. It defined the WebFinger record differently so the Salmon reply endpoints cannot be found by GS. Also GS does Salmon slightly wrong, so they wouldn't be able to talk anyway. GS is liberal enough that it can follow any Atom+WebSub feed, if it's AS1 then even better. Diaspora the protocol is now documented and doesn't mention WebSub, it's Salmon for both replies and for updating followers, so GS without ActivityPub cannot follow e.g. a SocialHome account, as SocialHome was developed from the spec rather than imitating the implementation. D* still keeps the legacy WebSub around and can be followed. @clacke@libranet.de

@f00fc7c8@kind.social I don't remember specifically, so I'll say when I was involved 2 years ago the handful of diaspora* devs were pretty set against expanding beyond their garden. (Thing is I nuked my ~100 pod and within a year my friend their ~10k pod because diaspora doesn't believe in moderation)
