I seem to have became an involuntary tester of what happens when Friendica worker doesn't run for a long period of time.

One of my settings say:

When an account is created on the site, it is given a hard

I am not completely sure I want to know what's this setting for…

#funny

I see that my little server have accumulated about a dozen of registrations, some from the well-beloved protonmail, others various freemail email registrations.
As far as admin UI knows they have never logged in, never have posted anything.

What Is The Point of empty registrations?

!Friendica Support ← maybe this works that way?

As for #facebook alternatives the list isn't that long: diaspora is one, friendica is other, and... um...

So it seems I shall rather update the instance and get it for good public use. People are getting booted from FB in raising frequency.

Apart from plenty of PHP errors in apache log (and zero in log/friendica.log) the system seems to work. More or less.

The current source of fun is worker.php, which is supposed to run every 10 minutes or so. Looks like Friendica doesn't continuously dequeue outbound or poll inbound but it have to be done periodically. Oh my.

Still, worker runs for the last 20 minutes and doesn't show any sign that she would like to finish too soon. God knows what it's doing since there's no output, no log, no none. Does a lot of web connection to unknown places for unknown reasons. Pretty low visibility.

Still direct message (PM) doesn't seem to work too well: there is no recipient.

Oh, and now I see that input field doesn't offer

.

So it seems installing #Friendica was succeeded.

I still have to review the config, since it's PHP you know, shall be untusted as much as possible.

So far it seems to work flawlessly, albeit pretty slow.

Some tests already succeeded to #mastodon and #diaspora (more or less).

I'll see whether I'll see this message elsewhere. 😉
