Connecting to instances without relay


Hello there

Yesterday i found out that you are able to add #Mastodon instances to relays (did not worked with #Friendica servers). I'm not sure though, if this actually works, or Friendica only adds it as relay and it does nothing (no messages received so far).

Question is, is there similar way to connect to Friendica instances?

I would have deployed relay to do the job, but it seems that most used Pleroma one suffers of bug that does not let me manage it.

Thanks
Roman

@Daniel slow, convoluted and cumbersome?

You realize that #mastodon servers right now absorb several new accounts per minute all over the place since this musk-twitter thing became public?

I understand why you like diaspora better than mastodon.

But then the #fediverse is bigger than just #mastodon, #diaspora, #friendica or whatever....

I strongly dislike the way you try to introduce sharp lines dividing the overall network.


Because I could

i got a strange wirred problem with my instance, maybe it is a bug or works as designed.

First:
I organized my contact in groups ... every time one contanct in a group make an post there will be a 1, 2 or 3 in that group name.

Action:
When i klick on that group to see whats going on an the step back the number will always
be there. I thought this should be assigned for unread post?

When i click on the netwerk area in top of the page i see my complete stream an then the notification is away.

I hope this is understandable what i wrote?

So its been about 6 weeks since I've been on here and I will say I think what I appreciate most about #Friendica is the ability to follow RSS feeds. I haven't really followed RSS feeds in years, and even when I did it wasn't for long. I started when I was disappointed that I couldnt' find many "people" to follow that shared stuff I was interested in. Now not only is my "timeline" full, but I'm reading for more high quality content then when I was getting my "news" from centralized social media like Twitter/Facebook. Thanks, particularly to @Hypolite Petovan and @Steffen K9 🐰


Hello !Friendica Support,
I see #Friendica still does not remove the GPS Exif location tag, right?

There is this user setting, but it seems that is still not working or still I misunderstand what this setting should do?

What should this setting do?

Hello,
is there a document which #mastodon API Functions are already implmented in #friendica
I don't know if this is a bug in #tusky or the api is not implemented.

If i make a bookmark in tusky i will not be in friendica. On the other hand if I mark on entry in friendica it will be shown as bookmark in tusky.


I can speak from my own experience at #Friendica and here's what we need the most:

  1. User-facing documentation with step-by-step how-tos, several features are de facto hidden because there's no specific display for them, like the built-in RSS reader.
  2. Interface translation, especially since we keep adding new strings to translate.
  3. Detailed bug reports with clear reproduction steps.
  4. Frontend development. We're mostly a backend-orientated team, which means we implemented federation with several decentralized social media protocols but there still isn't a convenient way to add an image to a post.

As you can see, actual programming is pretty low on the list, there are several areas where non-programmers can intervene and are very welcome to do so.



@helpers
Jetzt habe ich schon 3x versucht die Datenbank von #friendica zu verschieben und immer wieder bricht mir beim einspielen das ganze ab, weil man keine Super User Rechte hat. Komischerweise hatte ich diese auch beim erstellen nicht.

Irgendwelche Ideen?


One the big disadvantages of using #Friendica is that there's no big drama around the makers of the software, and instead they're just nice.

So I end up seeing a huge number of posts about people's sex doll money and being incredibly confused


Abstimmungen bei Mastodon


!Friendica Support

Erst dachte ich, es fehlen wieder Bilder:
Screenshot: Unvollständiger Post in Friendica

Aber auf der #Mastodon - Seite sieht man, dass es eine #Abstimmung ist, welche bei #Friendica nicht angezeigt wird:
Screenshot: Post in Mastodon mit Abstimmung

Muss das so oder haben wir eine Chance, solche Features ebenfalls angezeigt und vielleicht sogar daran teilnehmen zu können?

Why is it using local-sample.config.php?

[24-Mar-2022 15:56:52 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'Friendica\Module\Register' not found in /srv/http/config/local-sample.config.php:37

Die Logik der Nichtunterstützung bei #Mastodon erschließt sich mir überhaupt nicht. Wer #Nonmentions nutzen will, nutzt dafür auf Twitter ohnehin Screenshots. Bei Mastodon bleibt einem ja gar keine andere Wahl - das Ziel wird ja mehr als verfehlt, weil es so *erst recht* Nonmentions gibt, da Leute bei Screenshots ja nicht erwähnt werden.
Finde es daher absolut unterstützenswert, dass das bei #Friendica unterstützt wird.


Dazu auch noch mal die Beobachtung zum #Reshare: Habe heute einen Beitrag reshared von einer Friendica-Benutzerin, die selbst scheinbar einen Beitrag von #Mastodon per #QuoteShare geteilt hat.

Mein Reshare von #Friendica ist nicht in #Diaspora sichtbar.
Es ist kompliziert...


LVL004: Friendica - A Review


This is my review of the Friendica social network, and a follow-up to a previous video I did about the Fediverse. Friendica is my new favourite way to interact with social media, and in this video, I explain why.

As always, my current social media contacts are always on my web site.

For more information about Friendica, see their website.

For more information on the Fediverse in general, this site gives a nice overview.


Hello !Friendica Support
I have another problem, for a few days many pictures are missing in various posts, I just realized it because of empty posts, so I wondered why these are empty and found that the remote version got pictures in them.
It seem Firefox is not blocking anything and there is nothing for |grep Error in the #Friendica log.
This happens since 3 or 4 days on stable, I checked php info and it says there is gd and imagick running.


How can I prevent that #Friendica uses more workers than it should?

2022-03-21T11:14:12Z worker [NOTICE]: Load: 5.078125/12 - processes: 174861/37/105455 - jpm: 806/114/251 (0:36, 1:0/13, 20:0/1655, 30:0/200, 40:1/278448) - maximum: 38/25 [] - {"file":"Worker.php","line":819,"function":"tooMuchWorkers","uid":"fd72e1","process_id":741975}

38 instead of maximum 25 will always cause oom kill for PHP.

I've been trying to use #Friendica as an #RSS reader since accidentally discovering that it could be used as such. When I compare it to my previous RSS reader, I'm noticing that the entries in my feeds are being listed in an arbitrary and incomplete order. I have no idea why.



Finally got email functionality working on my #Friendica node. Special thanks to @Hypolite Petovan, who was instrumental in helping to fix the problem.


It’d be kind of interesting to try and make a really polished, really good theme for #Friendica. I feel like that platform has a lot of what Diaspora users want, but a lot of the themes are missing something.


Seriously, you folks have created something truly remarkable. I keep finding solutions to problems I wasn't even looking to Friendica for in the first place.

Case in point:


I just learned that I can use #Friendica as an RSS reader. How did I not know any of this before?


This conversation gives me the fuzzies. It should be of interest for @Michael Vogel and @Tobias and everybody else contributing to #Friendica .


Immer dann, wenn in der Welt was geschieht, haben manche Nutzer der sozialen Medien ja das Bedürfnis, ihre Erkentnisse und Befindlichkeiten im Minutentakt der Welt mitzuteilen und die Timeline der Abonenten zu fluten. Dafür wünschte ich mir die Möglichkeit, manche Kontakte temporär zu blockieren oder stumm zu schalten. Ich werde da für #Friendica nachher mal ein Feature Request bei github schreiben ;-)

#socialmedia #Laberfilter #feature


On friendica.utzer.de I have a very long queue, I know I have to do something to give the server more resources or change the setup somehow, but I am not sure if this is still normal that there is so many of this contact cleanup (kind of) jobs in the queue.

Message queues
99705 - 53703

Growing since I switched to stable from RC a few weeks ago (was it?).

The first 999 jobs seem to be of this kind.

Anyone seeing such behavior?

Sean is right, at #Friendica we retry unreachable profiles over a six months period, unless we receive an explicit account deletion message. Because a deleted server looks the same to us as a temporarily offline server, we have to be forgiving.


With #Friendica, you can reconnect with almost everyone except Facebook-only people!

What’s your current LEGO project(s)?


Hey, does #Friendica still do that thing where you can show different versions of your profile to different groups of people? I’m trying to write about it, but have no idea where those settings are in Modern Friendica.


What won me over in #Friendica is the absence of notifications for likes. I’ve always enjoyed the existence of the Like feature that I use as a read confirmation when I enjoy a post but don’t have anything meaningful to rely.

This also means that I have nothing to do when I receive a Like, and while it’s nice to see on my own time, notifications for them like in Twitter are an unwelcome distraction.


This exists on #Friendica where we have a Twitter connector using an existing Twitter account to have a unified timeline in Friendica, and the Twitter account is used if you reply on a Twitter post imported in your timeline. It can also mirror your Fediverse posts to Twitter, and mirror your own Twitter posts to the Fediverse.


Hello @Tobias
I just wanted to install updates on git.friendi.ca, when I found that the virtual HDD was pretty full, there were only 120 MB left.
Can you check if #gitea is running fine? Can you also check if there is any extensive archives stored that are not needed? I can and will add more storage to the VM, but I would like to know what are the expected needs. I guess code revision will take up some space, but I have no idea and feeling of how much space this takes up. Currently gitea uses about 6.6 GB in /var/lib

So the main goal is to check if the too less space caused any problems and second let me now about the expected needed space.
I guess another 10 GB should last for some time, but am not sure.
