!Friendica Support Is there any way (plugin, feed, ...?) to cross-post / reshare images from Flickr to the #fediverse, maybe similar to how this happens with Twitter? Still like Flickr as an image hosting environment but its inability to connect to anything is a bit annoying.

Flickr has feeds (atom, rss and some more) you can follow and reshare the items https://mashupguide.net/1.0/html/ch04s06.xhtml

@Tobias Ok, thanks. Will look into that route, then. Wasn't sure whether I can (automatically?) re-share things posted to / received via RSS feeds in here...

@Kristian depends on the Friendica server settings done by the admin. If the "remote self" feature is enabled, you can mirror content from feeds. If it is, there is an option on the contacts page for feed contact to mirror the content.

@Tobias Yeah, that seems enabled here. Thanks. Will try how far this gets me. Though I somehow feel bad for using this kind of crossposting, I still am sort of hoping for an "internet experience" where it is easy to have content accessible to _all_ my contacts regardless of which network they are on. :neutral face

@Tobias (Apparently this works rather well, the only thing that seems "missing" - but possibly hard to achieve - is a way to customize how the RSS feed is being processed. The feed produced by Flickr is disputable, and it seems there's no real option to handle this on their end. Maybe I need to come up with another idea for that... :neutral face )
