Sorta like Facebook, but federated with activitypub, so it can interact with mastodon and Lemmy a bit.
This blog post does a better job of explaining it.

Friendica, together with Diaspora, is a founding father/mother of today's Fediverse. 14 years ago it was still called ‘one Network’ or ‘The Federation’.
It supports various protocols and can therefore connect different networks. You can integrate any other services via an add-on system. Since Lemmy and Friendica support groups, we can natively join the threads and play along with them as if we were on Lemmy ourselves
@feb @ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac I love #friendica, it connects to all the protocols.. Just seems the level of polish/design/marketing of #mastodon stole the show...let that be a lesson to devs everywhere, design matters ;)
BTW not sure how many people know #raccoon the android app on #fdroid, it's an amazing friendica app!
@lps
Technically, it's incredible. For the front end, you need people from the community who are able to translate the complexity into a simple structure.
@ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac
@feb @ProdigalFrog @harrys_balzac good point
