There's a lot we can do to make it easier to connect to your friends on darknet and make darknet more efficient. Advertising your connectivity on Facebook may be part of that, subject to the whims of massive corporations we have no influence over. I believe somebody wrote an app a long time ago. However as I've explained there are a lot of other barriers, notably politics (will take time to change) and the need to run a node with reasonable uptime. IMHO it is reasonable to assume that a connected global darknet is some way off: Most of our users don't know anyone else who uses Freenet, and certainly don't know the 5 or so friends they'd need for acceptable performance/security (even with friend-of-a-friend connections).
