Raccoon for Friendica

Mobile client for Friendica, Mastodon and compatible federated social networks.
Version: 0.3.1
Added: 23-11-2024
Updated: 29-11-2024


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;


  • view the list of one's own favorites, bookmarks and followed hashtags;


  • create a post/reply with formatted text, image attachments (and alt text), spoiler and title;


  • schedule a post (and change its schedule date) or save it to drafts;


  • report posts/users to administrators for content moderation;


  • mute/unmute, block/unblock users and manage the list of muted/blocked users;


  • manage one's own circles (user-defined lists);


  • see polls (read only);


  • multi-account with easy ability to switch between accounts (and, in anonymous mode, switch
    instance);


  • send direct messages to other users and see conversations;


  • manage one's own photo gallery;


  • view one's own event calendar (read only).
