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.

Hat irgendjemand #keycloak mit #friendica überhaupt erfolgreich im Einsatz?


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.


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.


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.


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!


[Solved]


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.

#friendica #Add-On


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.


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


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:

#Announcement #Downtime #Friendica #Admin @Friendica Support


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.


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.


Also #friendica muss doch einen Bug haben.
Denn diese Zahlen der Nutzer Accounts kann doch nicht stimmen?
Das wären ja 4299 Millionen Accounts. 🤔

---8<---
Momentan kennt dieser Knoten 8279 Knoten mit insgesamt 4299082148 registrierten Nutzern, die die folgenden Plattformen verwenden:

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?

See here: https://social.yl.ms/display/ecb67e8c-a2d38452c44f20b9-5bab3412


Suche besser!


!Friendica Support

Vielleicht nehmen es die Entwickler und/oder @Steffen K9 🐰 als Betreiber einfach nur als Beobachtung und Lob - jedenfalls habe ich den Eindruck, dass die #Suche von #Friendica heute sehr viel besser funktioniert als vor ungefähr 2 Jahren.

Das ist wirklich sehr hilfreich! Wurde da was bewusst verbessert?


Friendica - A Decentralized Federated Open-Source Social Network That You Can Self-Host




I've been in this exact situation, and what worked for me to relieve the disappointment was twofold:
1. Identify what drew me to a project in the first place, and what task I ended up not doing when I lost interest. For me, the former was designing a game engine, and the latter was publishing it to other people. I made my peace with it, and now I know what engages me and what doesn't.
2. Involve myself in a project I am using. This has helped me stay engaged since I'm personally using what I'm working on. This has worked for me as a part of the #Friendica development team. I'm still picky about the tasks I'm taking on, but being part of a team means that what I don't do is likely to be picked up by someone else, and the other way around, I'm picking up tasks that other team members would prefer not to have to handle.


@helpers

Hello #friendica helpers. Can I ask you a question about installation Friendica with #yunohost.

I don't know how to acces with admin.


!Friendica Support I'm trying to use some #friendica instances in some #Android apps (like #andstatus but it is reproducible in others too) and fail to connect the apps to #friendica. What happens: (a) App will redirect me to the login screen of my instance in some browser or web view. (b) I will log in there. (c) #friendica will provide me with a message whether or not I want to authenticate the app to have access to my data. (d) Expectation would be that I get redirected to the app for all further steps. In reality, nothing happens - I just keep on tapping that "Yes" button but still stay in the browser view.
Is that a known issue? It seems to work in *some* browsers but not in all, and it doesn't work in apps like #andstatus that don't allow for / use a different browser. Any ideas?
