Mine was either mastodon or matrix. I got into both at the same time. What are some other fediverse sites for beginners?

@Bicyclejohn on Android? I tried it for a while, so it is safe. You can always scan it if you have some doubts (virustotal scans apk files as well iirc).

What I do not like about the app is that the dev seems to kinda hide some Friendica features for the sake of user-friendliness. For example, I couldn't figure out how to add titles to posts, nor did I see how to dislike a post. And you kinda have to keep in mind the BBCode formatting as there are no suggestions, like on the web for example:

[![Here's what you get when you type "[" in the web UI](https://i.imgur.com/bMTHskx.png "Here's what you get when you type "" in the web UI")

I'd try it once again tho to see how things evolved.
