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.
#friendica

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?
#friendica

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 ;-)

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.
#friendica

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

What’s your current LEGO project(s)?
#friendica

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.
#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.

#friendica

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.

Bildbeschreibungen bei Friendica

Hey Leute, ich brauche wieder mal eure Hilfe. Wie stelle ich bei #Friendica #Bildbeschreibung -en im Browser ein?
Entweder ich finde die Funktion nicht oder es gibt sie wirklich nicht.
#friendica #Bildbeschreibung

The same thought occurred to me several time over several years, and I'd rather boost an old post of mine rather than post the same exact post or even a minor variation of it. However the search isn't great in #Friendica so I often end up holding back and posting nothing.
#friendica

One thing I've enjoyed about hosting my own #friendica server on the #fediverse is being able to dabble with the addons. Such as the language detection feature which will auto-hide languages that aren't on your list of known languages. Works pretty well.
#friendica #fediverse

With my old #friendica host shutting down I've decided to try my hand at self-hosting an instance over on my "My Social Portal" domain (like my Matrix server). So this is my new account for the time being (maybe forever who knows). I'd say follow the blue checkmark but that doesn't always propagate. My old @Hank G account though will disappear when that server shutsdown in a 2 weeks

Friendica Directory version 2.3.4 released
I've just published another minor release of the #Friendica Directory project, it turns out the Hungarian translation was available but not enabled in the language selector, thanks to @Úr Balázs for the good catch!

This standalone software is meant to provide a global public directory of Friendica profiles across nodes.

Hello !Friendica Support,

is it possible that the content filters (Advanced Content Filter, NSFW) do not work on Mastodon contacts?

When I enter the URL of a Mastodon post at "Show Post Variables" in the content filter, the message "Unknown post with the guid ..." appears.

Small misplaced pride: I’m abroad on a roaming 2G data plan, and I can browse my self-hosted #Friendica site, but I couldn’t manage to completely load my self-hosted #Pixelfed site even after waiting several minutes.
#friendica #pixelfed

It's okay, I was mostly curious whether using a single emoji would work in the #Friendica content filter, and yes, yes it does.
#friendica

Ich hoffe ich habe meine Kontakte von geraspora.de, mastodon.social und gruene.social jetzt alle erwischt und hier hinzugefügt. Auf jeden Fall werde ich jetzt meine Friendica-Instanz für alles was persönliches Social Media ist, benutzen und auch von hier folgen.

War für mich auch ein Denkprozess, dass ich mich bei allen möglichen dezentralen Plattformen angemeldet habe, nur um dann dort den lokalen Benutzer*innen zu folgen, obwohl das alles ja wunderbar von #friendica aus geht.

Wir macht ihr das mit thematisch fokussierteren Plattformen wie #peertube oder #pixelfed ?

@Michael Vogel
Ok i didn't know the #friendica wiki - thank you!
The Idea with the Gitea System is also cool - I use Gitea for my own projects in my homelab.

If you have identified an issue with #Friendica, please submit the detailed steps to reproduce it on GitHub: https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues

Or in this conversation if you don't have a GitHub account. Friendica is a volunteer-only project, which means quality checks have to be done by people on their free time, and this can include you!

Among the few #Twitter non-features, the one that takes the cake for me is the notifications about posts published by accounts you are already following.

If I understand correctly, this is the chain of causality:
  • Encourage users to follow as many accounts as possible to boost Engagment™.
  • Timeline becomes impossible to read, filter it.
  • Send notifications about posts that may have been missed because of the filter.



This is completely irrelevant for me since I only follow people I want to read everything they publish, and I'm doing so either on #Friendica or on Twitter where I regularly have to switch back to "Latest tweets first" from the non-chronological filtered timeline.

Friendica Hackathon 2020

I'm using #Friendica where I'm posting from, we feature a native #RSS feed reader (among other protocols we support).

And I will never get tired of boasting this awesome integrated feature.

Hallo @Michael Vogel ich hätte da mal eine Frage zu #Friendica und #Lemmy.
Seit dem letzten Release föderiert dieses ja mit Mastodon und Pleroma.
Gibt es auf Seiten Friendica eine Möglichkeit dies auch für "uns" zu realisieren?
Ich vermute aber mal, dass dies hier nur bei Lemmy selber umgesetzt werden kann?

Announcement: Downtime git.friendi.ca / wiki.friendi.ca / files.friendi.ca / drone.friendi.ca
There might be a planned downtime tomorrow 14:00 CET. I am still figuring out if it is necessary to swap the NVME storage drive of the server and am in contact with the hosting company.

Please prepare for about 4-6 hours downtime to allow raid resync.

It might be much shorter, but I feel more comfortable with that prognosis.

Also if you know your way around NVME replacement and raid resync I am open for suggestions on how to do this, maybe it is possible to resync the system while it is running, last time I did not manage to do this and had to use a rescue live #Linux system to recover.

Details on the time scheduled in your timezone:

Dear !Friendica Support,
I have noticed you already have feature request asking for enhancements usefull to screen reader users on github. I have added a comment explaining few points I am thinking about as a novice screen reader user of #Friendica.

Accessibility: Support for screen readers · Issue #1743 · friendica/friendica

We should check friendica how good it is usable with screen readers.

Dear !Friendica Support, I'm slowly setting up my #Friendica instance and I'd appreciate some hints.
Is there a way so when going to the my instance homepage recent public posts of instance members will be displayed along side the login form?
Also when trying to follow a contact entering its profile url is working fine but when entering email style address like helpers@forum.friendi.ca I am getting an empty page in the web browser.

Denn diese Zahlen der Nutzer Accounts kann doch nicht stimmen?
Das wären ja 4299 Millionen Accounts. 🤔

Hello !Friendica Support
can we at #Friendica improve how quoted reshares of #Diaspora posts look on #Pleroma or should Friendica not send these posts to Pleroma? Is this a pleroma issue?
