   @stitchxd @kitredgrave @shel They federate just fine, they're just a very small network.  The UI never really appealed to people in the same way qvitter did, or mastodon's tweetdeck-alike UI.

     @maiyannah @stitchxd @KitRedgrave yeah the front-end is really offputting on friendica, at least the last time i looked

     but we could always fork it or hubzilla and give it a better back-end

     @vinzv It's gonna be a LOT of work.  its basically why I'm giving it its own release.  But IMO very worth it.

     #Hubzilla actually has a fairly flexible system for templating, though it requires some familiarity with the system's conventions to write your own unique widgets from scratch.

     Still, in theory you could write a Tweetdeck-like UI for it; the question is whether you would actually want to, given that the platform lends itself to long-form content.
