@Melanie Wehowski ich bin #neuhier auf deinem Server und war bisher ein #mastodon user. - #scham

Erst einmal vielen Dank für deine Arbeit und das ich hier sein darf.

Ich habe ein paar Fragen zu Friendica, die mir das Web nicht so einfach beantworten konnte.

#theme - kann man das Theme im Webbrowser irgendwo umstellen? Türkise Schrift auf hellem Hintergrund ist nichts mehr für meine alten Augen.
Ich bin zu doof es zu finden.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen habe ich #2FA aktiviert. Damit funktioniert die Anmeldung über #Relatica nicht mehr.
Gibt es so was wie #API-Schlüssel oder App-#Passphrases?

Durch den Systemwechsel von #Mastodon zu #friendica konnte ich keine Account-Umleitung und keinen Follower Ex- & Import nutzen. Die meisten habe ich einfach händisch neu angelegt.
Ich würde aber gerne #Hashtags folgen. Ich verstehe noch nicht, wo ich diese eintrage.

Ich komme mir mit meinen Fragen mal wieder vor, wie ein Anfänger.
Oder bin ich nur der, der sich traut, diese öffentlich zu stellen?

Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für die Arbeit, die du hier rein steckst und einen schönen Sonntag aus dem #BergischLand.

@Friendica Support hello, i would like some help please to understand how to solve my confusion about the "right" way to follow #hashtags, using #Channels ... or otherwise some better way.

i follow a large number of hashtags [as a glance at my profile would attest]. afaict / afaik, fediverse posts bearing these tags appear [or are supposed to] in my "Network" timeline [with "Everybody" Circle & "Latest posts" Channel selected].

of my many tags, possibly my most "important" ones are #AusPol, #FOSS, & #Linux. in order to be able to efficiently locate all posts with these tags each day, rather than have to meticulously scroll down the full "Network" timeline [which is dissipated via also having all the other tags, & all my Followed accounts' posts], in Settings i created three dedicated Channels [one for each of those tags, ofc]. then i added each of those custom Channels to my Timelines, in Display Settings.

however, the result is just hopeless; really disappointing & frustrating. over recent years i have had several Friendica accounts, ie, at several instances, & doing the above has never worked properly in any of them, not only my current instance.

using the AusPol Channel for example, as it is the worst by far, every time i check it, its most recent post is several hours old, & often as bad as 12 - 18 hours old, with numerous other posts entirely missing.

i say "missing" because otoh, reviewing my Saved Search for #AusPol shows all these other posts, which therefore also appear, buried, in my full "Network" timeline.

over the months & years in exasperation, i have revisited the dedicated Channels in Settings, & for the Circle/Channel field have tried each of Latest posts, Latest Creation, Global community, & Latest activity, but none of them has solved the problem [indeed, a few make it even worse!].

please, what am i doing wrong? what aspect of Friendica's Settings have i been consistently misunderstanding / misusing, that causes this disappointment?

#Facebook inherently isn’t bad

yes it is.

#hashtags

Hashtags are supposed to be from all the contacts that has a server in the #fediVerse, if the posts were published publicly. Their for mastodon.social with it's overwhelming user base should be connected to a very large percentage of the fediverse accounts (that's an interesting percentage investigation to do). It even has introduced full text search and I guess it's using it so that's another tool in one place to get a lot of the total info out there.

#friendica has relays, I never checked that option out but if you dig into it you'll find some answers. In the latest release it added "channels" to create streams of selected gathered information, another thing I haven't digged into yet. Actualy friendica and #hubzilla might be the ones that can tap into most info on the fediverse. Those communities, both inicialized by Mike, have kinda basic goal to create workarounds in the fediVerse to connect to everyone and everything. Thinking about it, friendica might be the oldest thriving #activityPub speaking platform out there.

My recommendation to check out friendica in your case would be squeet.me as it is run by one of the german main devolpers of that platform so it's always on the latest dev branch.

following activitypub, which is an unsorted mess of information overflow

That's an impression I get first of all in the #mastodon stream as every answer pops up like a single unrelated contextles bubble in once universe that most likely might create some declaration of war in some other distant universe that ultimately might just lead to a dog swolling some toy ball.

many () problems can be traced back to Homo Sapiens Sapiens

all of 'em, that's why spanisch is the choosen language in this case as it spells mono sapiens -> #VIATA
At the same time, blaming the user while the boss considers them "dumb fucks" and gives out the instruction "be fast and break things" sounds like kinda victim blaming.

No it never does, it makes your world view distorted

That's what I mean by: their own disconnected reality.
What wasn't to clear in my answer is that apparently they gathered into bubbles on places like fb and went of from there to GAB or apparently now a days #telegram groups.
btw
Every world view is distorted, by default, there is no way around that fact.

It is necessary sometimes to touch foreign subjects, meet new people, read unusual threads, outside your comfort zone. At least that’s my experience.

More than agreed:
#TEDtalk:

That was another bubble.

Or they managed to organize.

Bubbles are fine, not only for marginalized groups and can be helpful and uplifting.
Point is when they lead to radicalization, "Tunnelblick", "Scheuklappen" (blinders).
Actually they create an own norm, an own culture, an own tribe. That can lead to diversification that can be good and useful, why not. Kinda like always it's the concentration that makes it medicine or abused drug, that's why I wrote semipermeable as an important part of the setup.

#GAFAM created a asocial environment, some reasons you mentioned, the first reason because they could and it was good buisenes (for them). So "we" decided to go for the free network (redes libres/freie Neztzwerke) to disentangle and start all over again. My peers are my algorithm that create my feed of input. And as my vibes and emotional situation changes, I'll have to adapt my feed constantly if I want to stay in charge. If I refer that task to my smart watch I'm doomed to become aligned to a (main)stream others decide over. AI is going to make that most likely worse because it's becoming more and more complex and we rely on some coders that say "bad dog! baaad dog!" to the AI. Meanwhile in Myanmar some genocide is fostered, fb traces the data for their AI and the billionairs say:
"Well, some workers died when the golden gate bridge was build, bad luck, that's colateral damage worth it."
