Raccoon is a free and open source mobile-first client for Friendica and Mastodon.
Friendica is an outstanding social plaftorm, featuring powerful characteristics which make
it unique in the federated world:
rich text editing, long posts, support for titles and spoilers;
native support for ActivityPub groups;
direct messages;
media gallery where you can manage photos and albums;
possibility to organize your contacts in circles;
ability to quote (cross-post) other people's posts;
RSS feed import;
integrated event calendar;
of course, much more (see the official documentation)…
The web interface is great to access all of these features but on a mobile device there are
different constraints for usability and readability, so it comes in handy to have an app to
use the most important functions of the platform.
Main features:
timeline view with ability to switch feed type (public, local, subscriptions, user-made lists);
post detail, i.e. opening a conversation in its context and see the replies, number of re-shares
and people who added it to favorites;
user detail with ability to see posts, post and replies, pinned posts and media, subscribe for
notifications from a user, follow/send a request or unfollow them, see following/followers;
support for ActivityPub groups, with the ability to open threads in forum mode;
see trending posts, hashtags, links and following recommendations;
follow/unfollow an hashtag and view all the posts containing a given hashtag;
post actions (re-share, favorite, bookmark) and – for own ones – edit, delete or pin to profile;
global search hashtags, post and users containing some specific terms;
customize the application appearance with color themes, font face and size, etc;
login via OAuth2;
view and edit one's own profile data;
view incoming notifications and filter the list;
manage one's own follow requests and accept/reject each one of them;
