@lovingisliving @zarapp I can only talk to my own experience but running an instance for friends and family has been pretty minimal effort
How do your friends and family use it? Have the figured out how to use events or groups at all?
@lovingisliving But to answer your question I started playing around with Events and groups recently.
@lovingisliving Well I have but my family aren't massive social media users so its pretty lightweight activity. I guess my experience is that friendica has a lot of features in there - I like groups and events myself but also I found myself looking at how one account can manage another - I thin this would be great for parent/child accounts - perhaps it might need a few more controls around what the child account can/cannot do ..
I'm actually not far from creating another friendica instance just as a 'trial' server for people I know who want to try it out.
I wish I was more capable in taking ideas for features that I would find useful and turning them into deliverable things. I'm a Business Analyst so I can define the requirements but I need some dev friends to help me out doing the delivery.
