Another day, another fantastic #Friendica feature that I found. If you've already been for a while, you can check your feed from a year ago*. While you are in your newsfeed, simply click on the #year you want to check on the Archive pane on the left (keep scrolling to find it), then click on On this day. You'll get all the posts that were sent to your instance exactly one year ago. Isn't it wonderful to walk through your personal memory lane from time to time? 😁

*I guess it depends on how long have you been to a certain Friendica server, not sure if posts are displayed if you moved your account to a different server for less than a year before. I'm also not sure if this depends on a certain plugin, or if it's a baked-in functionality.
