Fediverse and Friendica wants...
I am a proud Friendica user, thanks to its great developers! Yes it's more complicated to use than Mastodon but it has more features that meet my needs and that is the reason I learned to use it. But I do have some future wants...
Wouldn't it be great to have a folder I can pin with the posts I want to pin? Within that subfolders with more posts I want to pin?
Wouldn't it be great to be able to add/follow a user on another instance without having to go to their instance status page, copy their url or address to clipboard, then go back to my page to paste them in search to find their them to add?
Wouldn't it be great to have recurring event option in the event calendar like Google Calendar?
Wouldn't it be great to have verified ID Fediverse wide so we can be sure we are not adding an impersonator or parody account?
Wouldn't it be great to have a folder where I can save posts I want to get back to later or follow a running thread?
Wouldn't it be great on signup to provide prompts and basic help in filling out your profile for new user onboarding?
Wouldn't it be great to have a help icon on the Frio UI rather than hiding it so new users can find it easier?
I am a huge Friendica fan, but I have had feedback from others that find it too complicated and leave shortly after creating their accounts. There may even be ways to do things above that I don't know about! I am a believer in the decentralized Fediverse. I want to get more people here - so these are things I am thinking about. 😀
#Fediverse comments welcome!

@shelenn If you're interested in the technicalities, see the link below about how #Mastodon engages with #ActivityPub to implement some of its features.
My response is that some of those features are completely possible with the #Fediverse and clients like Mastodon just need to slap on the UI to get them done.
Other features.... well, I fault ActivityPub for not having things like cryptographic confirmation of users built in as a core functionality.
Hopefully the different projects continue to mature and provide interfaces that add more and more value to users, in user friendly ways.
