@Friendica Support@Friendica Developers

Let me start with a concrete, question: Are there any efforts / plans to support the upload of videos?

And now, since I might have your attention, allow me to broaden the question to:

What is your opinion regarding "what #Friendica is / should be"?

My view / vision is heading slightly in the direction that nowadays image and video content is quite central in social networks and thus a #Fediverse application like friendica should support the multimedia aspect a bit more, if it wants to be attractive for the broad public in terms of being an alternative to commercial social networks.

Most of you might tell: "Yeah, if one prefers media centric Fediverse, then check out #pixelfed ". But I think, pixelfed is yet too much of an Instagram clone, only providing the image / video focus (which bothered me at Instagram from the very beginning not being able to have good commenting / discussion options there).

In my view, Friendica has great potential becoming a great "one fits all" application for the majority of people who like social media and the concept of the Fediverse. It has way more cool functions than #mastodon / pixelfed (which are in my opinion too close copies of Instagram and Twitter, respectively) but much simpler and convenient than Hubzilla (which I think is really great, for a computer science person, but not for the broad non-technical focussed public)

Wrapping it up: I would love to see a Friendica development towards an easier multimedia support. What are your thoughts?

Cheers

Marek

@Friendica Admins
Hello,
I am just learning how to administer a PHP application. I have run into a problem. In general, I activated the addon through the admin panel, on the server, edited the file phpmailer.config.php. However, sending still doesn't work. Can you please tell me if I need to do something else to make it work? I'm attaching the config.

                // smtp_server (String)
                // SMTP server host name

The #Diaspora project is what it is, but I really like the Diaspora protocol separation between authorship and ownership. In this model, the original poster is the rightful owner of all the replies that gets published in the thread they started. They are responsible with distributing replies to the original recipients, whether they follow each other or not, and can even delete replies as they see fit, and the deletion is propagated as well.

This avoids the current #Mastodon behavior where in a Follower-only conversation, each individual recipient may only see the original poster's replies to other people which own replies they didn't receive because they aren't following them.

With #ActivityPub, is there a way out of this half-private message, half-group conversation situation where only the original poster has a comprehensive view of limited privacy threads?

I wanted to publish a personal posts to my mutuals only which #Friendica allows, but I realized that any reply to it might not be visible to the other thread recipients, which means my own subsequent replies would be confusing for anyone's not directly following the person I'd reply to. And this has prevented me from actually writing my post.

Frage zum Abonnieren von ~friendica Accounts per #RSS -Feed

@Friendica Support
Ich bin gerade auf einem Ersatzrechner unterwegs und muss den wohl etwas länger nutzen, daher habe ich versucht, meine #RSS-Feeds dort zu importieren.

Es geht also nicht um Feeds innerhalb von #Friendica , sondern um das Abo eines Accounts in einem externen Reader (hier Thunderbird bzw. Feeder)

Im Friendica-Wiki ist beschrieben, welche Form die Feed-Adresse haben soll:
"If you want to share your public page via rss you can use one of the following links:
The RSS feed of your posts is available at
example.com//feed/[nickname]/posts"

Entsprechend wäre die Feed-Adresse für meinen Account = http://anonsys.net/feed/caos/posts
Die führt jedoch zu der Meldung: "Die Feed-Adresse konnte nicht gefunden werden"
Mit anderen Nicknames funktioniert es aber, auch auf der gleichen Instanz bspw. http://anonsys.net/feed/tux/posts bringt alle Posts von @Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅
Es scheint also kein Instanz-spezifisches Problem zu sein.

Die o.g. Feed-Adresse meines eigenen Accounts hat auf dem anderen Gerät auch funktioniert. Alle anderen Feeds laufen auch.
Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen könnte?
