What fedi app has good marketing? Mastodon gets a little visibility, but largely its marketing seems to be trying to talk to people already on fedi. They need to talk to people who aren’t here, and sell the positives more than hitting on the negatives of the negatives of the corporate sites.
As to friendica, I signed up on an instance and played with it a bit. I liked it, but it didn’t feel like a replacement for Facebook. What it reminded me of most was LiveJournal from years ago. Something about the early 2000s website design ethic, I guess.
