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?
Mike Macgirvin, the long-time developer that brought us #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Streams, and the #Zot protocol, is bringing his most powerful concept to the rest of the #Fediverse: Nomadic Identity.
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?
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.
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.
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
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)...

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.
This is Joseph. I finally got my new friendica node up and running. Not for the faint of hear
It is running, as you can see my message.
While I know that I have a few things to set up, I was reading over the doc's and it talked about adding a relay. This way, get more traffic and will see posts outside of my ultra tiny circle of contacts(myself at the moment, and friendica admin and support forums!)
They say go to the command line and enter the add relay command with the relay domain question:
bin/console relay add relay.example.com/actor
But, the command line spits out the error:
-bash: bin/console: No such file or directory
What might I have missed during my install so that the bin/conssole command is not availabe?
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. 😃
How does Sharkey compare to Mastodon?
To those who have used both which do you prefer overall?...
