The Procyon Project

Procyon intends to provide a set of clients for social and aggregation platforms in order to make it easier for everyone to find and access their favorite space in the Fediverse.

It dates back to 2023 with a Lemmy client and was extended with a Friendica (Mastodon-compatible) client in 2024.

What's in a name?

Raccoons are adorable, aren't they? Such cute and intelligent animals deserve more recognition!

The original Lemmy app was called Raccoon, following a tradition according to which Lemmy clients were named after small mammals (Lemmur, Jerboa, Fennec, etc.). The idea was so nice that it became natural to name the Friendica client after it.

The 🦝 philosophy can be summarized in four simple words: «Live Fast Eat Trash».

Rationale

As most developers involved in the creation of the Fediverse, we believe that the principles of freedom of speech and access to unbiased information are crucial for the development of a healthy society where individuals can grow together and inspire each other.

Being able to access and discuss about contents gains even more prominence as there are instances, originating in several parts of the world under different political contexts, to put more and more limitations and barriers to it.

Why Lemmy and why Friendica? The trait d'union between the these platforms is that they support ActivityPub groups i.e. the Fediverse's equivalent of forums: users can subscribe to them, access a list of topics, create new threads or access the existing ones and post replies.

Considering the above statement about freedom of expression and the idea that growth stems from discussion (sometimes even argument) between people, it was natural to put a focus on this kind of interactions.
