bin zwar nicht mehr ganz #NeuHier , habe aber trotzdem #NeuHierFragen :
wie kann ich mir mir die timeline einer anderen instanz anzeigen lassen umd ihr vielleicht sogar folgen?
bitte 🔃
Mich frustriert es wirklich nicht (mehr), dass das Fediverse offenbar bisher nur eine überschaubare Minderheit der Gesellschaft anspricht. Damit kann ich sehr gut leben.
Was mich aber doch etwas wurmt, ist die Realität, dass es hier meiner Beobachtung nach nur wenige junge aktive Menschen gibt. Weshalb finden #Jugendliche z.B. TickTock oder Instagram ansprechend, kommunizieren dort mit ihren peer groups, während die ganze interoperable Breite und Vielfalt des #Fediverse (#Pixelfed, #Friendica, #Peertube, #Mastodon…)) für junge Leute offenbar komplett uninteressant zu sein scheint?
I'm then and now experiencing a strange behaviour in Friendica web (frio): Having a post with a longer thread below, I expand the thread and interact (like, reshare) with some messages in there. If I do that, more than just once a few moments after that interaction the display somehow seems to "scroll" or "jump" or reposition, not sure by which pattern, in some cases the comment I interacted with being scrolled to back or bottom, in some cases scrolling up or down the thread. Seems to happen on all browsers I tested so far, and somehow feels related to clicking, say, a "like" thumb and the background activity triggered by that being finished. Am I the only one to see that? Anyone else? This isn't really a big deal but a bit annoying as you again and again lose track of where you were.
@z428 It happens to me a lot, & tbh it's pretty exasperating. Because of it i frequently lose my reading place in my network timeline, & need to manually scroll up & down to "rediscover" where i was. This does not happen in my Masto* account.
I have a [non-technical, entirely guessed] hypothesis. I suspect that "interacting" with the subject post somehow "triggers" #Friendica to then check for new items in the fediverse, to insert at the top of my timeline, which then abruptly displaces my "reading point" down by the number & size of new posts added.
If true, i would mention this; Mastodon allows users to avoid this unpleasant inconvenience, by an optional #SlowMode setting in Preferences. When enabled [which many Masto users do, afaik], new toots are prevented from automatically entering the top of the timeline & displacing it down, instead generating a small notification atop the timeline noting the availability of new content. Then, at a time chosen by the user, they can manually click that actionable notice, which loads the new content. I really wish we had this in Friendica!
Tak, @mstankiewicz to moje konto.
Nie, nie opuszczam jeszcze pol.social - nie chcę odchodzić od infrastruktury @ftdl, na razie tylko testuję, ale nie mogę tego wykluczyć jeżeli okaże się, że #Friendica mi bardziej odpowiada
Not every fediverse user want to connect to Bluesky but for those that do, you can look into using Friendica. The next release will allow you to use your Bluesky account from within Friendica. Interact with Mastodon / Msskey / Pixelfed etc and Bluesky users together on one platform
Anyone out there using Friendica with mobile #Firefox on #Android? Tried it again for a while this weekend but eventually gave up (again) because, in the web UI on my device, Friendica / frio became almost unusable while trying to "@" - mention some user. Either loading or displaying suggestions / completions seems incredibly slow here. Is this just me? Any other experiences?
@helpers One of the distinct disadvantages, afaict, with the #Friendica web UI [ie, using a browser] compared to Mastodon, is the inability to see / access / use the Compose Post box unless one is scrolled to the top of the timeline. In Masto, with both its default & #AdvancedWebInterface UI views, the Compose box is always visible, hence available, regardless of any other timeline status. Tbh i find this restriction really frustrating in F.
For various reasons in F i prefer the Vier UI display option over Frio, but afaict my objection pertains to both.
Is there possibly some option buried in Settings that i might have missed, which when enabled makes the Compose Post box available any time, eg, from a top bar link as a popup modal?
Is there some AddOn for this that Friendica server owners could install that remedies this problem?
In absence of anything better, my inefficient workaround is to open a second tab of my F account, in which i then access the box to compose & send my impromptu post, without disturbing my position in my scrolled timeline in the original tab [eg, first thing each morning i scroll down & review all new posts since yesterday, but often think of something i want to say or ask that's not tied to any individual post i might be contemporaneously reading atm, six hours down my timeline].
Nachdem #Friendica im letzten Release sogenannte "Channels" eingeführt hat, mit dem man selber seine eigene #Timeline nach eigenen Bedürfnissen bzw. Themen zusammenstellen kann, kommt mit dem nächsten Release ein weiteres cooles Feature: Ein Relay-Konto bzw. Relay-User.
Mit diesem Kontotyp ist es möglich, auf Basis der eben erwähnten Channels einen öffentlichen User zu erstellen, der mithilfe von Hashtags, Volltextsuche o. ä. nach Beiträgen mit den festgelegten Suchbegriffen sucht. Die gefundenen Beiträge werden dann an die User geteilt, die dieses Relay-Konto bei sich als Kontakt hinzugefügt haben. Ich finde das deswegen so genial, weil dadurch die Timeline von #neuhier Usern oder auch die von #Singleuser Instanzen besser, schneller mit Themen gefüllt werden können, die einen interessieren.
Um dies zu testen, habe ich vier solcher themenbezogenen Relay-User erstellt (Linux & Open Source, Datenschutz & IT Sicherheit, Selfhosting & Homeserver, Fußball). Danach habe ich bei einem User der keinerlei Kontakte hat und keine Hashtags gespeichert hat, diese vier Relay-User hinzugefügt. Die Timeline dieses "leeren" Users wurde in kurzer Zeit mit den vier Themen gefüllt. Ich finde das echt genial und könnte für die neuen in der #Fediverse oder eben auch für die erwähnten Singleuser Instanzen eine große Hilfe sein eine lebendige Timeline zu bekommen. Und das Ganze ohne einen vorgeschriebenen, dummen #Algorithmus.
I guess this topic has been covered 1000 times before, but I can't seem to find a way to "search and find" the older threads on this forum. So I apologise for returning to a familiar topic.
I installed #friendica on my home micro-server on #Yunohost and after an upgrade it worked perfectly for a few weeks, but lately it has started to frequently show the "504 Gateway Time-out" error page and I wonder if this could be due to some configuration of my node or some other reason.
As a background, at the moment, the server has only one active user, with almost 2.000 contacts.

Eine kurze Frage, gibt es irgendwo eine Einstellung mit der man die Höher von Tiktok Videos festlegen kann? Es macht doch recht wenig Sinn wenn diese in der Höhe, höher als der Stream/Timeline sind und deshalb nicht komplett dargestellt werden.
Maybe I should start an irregular series of "What Hubzilla is like" posts for people in the Fediverse, Mastodon specifically, who don't know anything about it. Not for those who want to switch, but for those who assume that Hubzilla is just like whatever else they know. Like, for Mastodon users who blindly assume that Hubzilla is just like Mastodon with a different UI and then act accordingly. Thus, it'd mostly focus on how Hubzilla is different from Mastodon.
The difficult part would be to limit these posts to only 500 characters. Minus what I'll need for the hashtags, namely #Hubzilla, #FediTips and #FediverseTips to increase discoverability for those who are interested and #FediMeta, #FediverseMeta, #CWFediMeta and #CWFediverseMeta so that these posts are automatically removed or hidden behind generated content warnings by already existing filters. Because I know for a fact that many Mastodon users won't touch anything that goes even a smidge over 500 characters. And I know that there are Mastodon users for whom any and all Fediverse meta is too nerve-gratingly techy.
> Everyone else who talks about the non-Mastodon Fediverse isn't on Mastodon.
Not really. 🤪 I'm on a Mastodon-powered instance.
I used to run a #Philippines#Friendica server. (It was the second #fediverse instance for the Philippines. The first was running Friendika managed by students.)
Then I ran my own #Hubzilla (family & friends). And used to manage the community for an #ASEAN Hubzilla instance (sadly, the sponsor and admin disappeared).
Today, I'm staying away from the backend management. I no longer have the resources to dedicate to it. So, I just search for instances with sane set up (like not abusing site-level blocks because someone told them to).
"True Fediverse citizens" (for lack of a better label) do exist on Mastodon-powered platforms. There are plenty of others beside me. 😃
Potete darmi una mano, mettendo stelline a questa issue sulle anteprime dei link da messaggi Friendica?
Oppure facendovi venire qualche idea...
Infatti, i link che si riferiscono ai post #Friendica (purtroppo è anche un problema di #Misskey) non producono un'anteprima (probabilmente perché Friendica non è in grado di esporre i tag #OpenGraph, ma non sono certo al 100% che il motivo sia questo)...
Does anyone know what #Friendica is missing to correctly generate post link previews on remote systems? #OpenGraph#Interoperability
When a Friendica post is linked on any social network, it is never possible to preview it (unlike what happens with Mastodon or Pleroma: perhaps does it depend on the absence of open graph tags?) · Issue #13959 · friendica/friendica
Friendica | Gibt es bei Friendica eine Möglichkeit Reaktionen nicht nur empfangen sondern auch senden zu können?
In meinen Augen sind Reaktionen (Emoticons) wesentlich sinnvoller als Daumen hoch und Daumen runter, da sie Meinungen sehr viel besser transportieren können als diese. Und schneller als einen Text zu tippen ist es allemal. Zumal man darüber ja auch Daumen hoch und Daumen runter darstellen kann.
How does Sharkey compare to Mastodon?
To those who have used both which do you prefer overall?...
