It’s pretty dead, a lot of pods has closed down last year and it continues to shrink, they could maybe reverse the process by supporting ActivityPub or other additional protocol, but they have refused, and diaspora* protocol hasn’t gained any additional traction, sooo…
@Fitik So the only chance of Diaspora to survive is for Friendica to grow. Just like it happened with Mastodon back in the day, and I could see anything I wanted.
Ironically, Google+ was an all-out diaspora* ripoff. And Google got away with it because they brazenly stole from something that nobody even knew existed.
Remember Google’s new UI style? The black bar at the top? Stolen from diaspora* for Google+.
Also, everyone claims that Google+ invented the concept of “circles”. Actually, Google just ripped off diaspora*'s aspects. (And Friendica had them several months before diaspora* even. So Friendica had them first. Not diaspora*. And Google even less.)
Yep I was a very early developer (software developer) on the platform back in the day. Facebook and Google both stole a lot of what diaspora did with communities/circles and UI. I have not been on it for a very long time. I should take another look.
I joined Diaspora back when Google+ went tits up. Is Anything actually happening over there?

Friendica it is then.
I think Hubzilla and Friendica are its only links to the rest of the Fediverse. Both support ActivityPub and Diaspora.
