How do I post to an instance that I follow? That may not be the right word. It's not an entire instance, like friendica.world. It's someone or a group on that instance. These terms are quite confusing, since some of them are actual groups, whereas others are individuals, and still others are organisations but aren't technically groups. Many come from Mastodon.
Those who love antique fashions will enjoy this. It is a compilation of links related to Regency and Edwardian mensware. If you have any to add or wish to make any suggestions, please do so.
How Fashionable!

I would like to settle something, once and for all. I think I may have asked about it this previously but not very clearly. On sites such as Livejournal, I enter interests seperated by a comma. For instance
books, classical music, cats
Some sites use brackets to separate each word or phrase. On Friendica, I followed their advice to use commas, but phrases, such as classical music, always show up as separate words i.e. "classical, music" when I read my profile, thinkint that was the seperator, but it did nothing. I want to know how to do this properly, since it may affect both how I find people and how people find me. How do I write these keywords, and is it the same for my profile as when I search by interest or for posts and people?
Well, it finally happened. Facebook did, in fact, discontinue the Basic Mobile site. So I will be posting on here and Dreamwidth a lot more from now on. Speaking of which, I wrote alot there over the last few days, filling in entries from earlier in the month. Anyone can read or comment on my entries, whether or not he is a member. I also have an extensive profile there, as well as a post containing links to essays on various topics. I will be sharing particular links with all of you that you may read or ignore, as you wish.

We just watched “Woman of the Hour” directed by/starring Anna Kendrick. Wow. I’m easy to please but I thought it was phenomenal. It did a great job of putting you in each of the actresses’ shoes. The antagonist was great. I hated him!

I've started a tiny project to replace all the giant landuse ways I placed when I first started mapping with something more manageable. It isn't taking as long as I imagined, but I sure wish I wouldn't have mapped this way in the first place.

I just found a client called TWBlue. It seemed to be absolutely perfect! Then, I tried to post with it. Not only can I not hit enter to go down a line because it posts, but it literally has no function to allow me to edit my posts or comments! I can understand the first, since it was designed to work with Mastodon, but the second makes no sense to me. Still, these people are extremely serious about accessibility and actually care about user suggestions, so O I may write to them. I would love for these features to be added, since it looks like a full client.
This page should be updated to include Pachli for Android, and Tweesecake and Semaphore for Windows as clients.

food, weather, classical music
Here, in my profile, it asks for keywords. Food and weather are fine. But when I write "classical music" (without the quotes) and save it, it always looks like "classical, music". In other words, it's being treated as two words instead of a phrase. I did try putting them in quotes, but that didn't help. The same thing happens with names or anything other than single words. Am I doing something wrong? Should I put them in brackets or use the number sign, or is that just how it handles them? If so, how can I search for such things? To use my previous example, searching for "classical, music" might give me results about classical antiquity or popular music. What about tagging posts that I write here to bring attention to a particular topic? Do I just use the number sign?
I am trying out yet another client. This one is for Windows, and so far, I really like it. It doesn't give me full control over my profile as Pachli and tusky do, but it does allow me to work with posts, which is what I will be doing most times anyway. So now, along with the website that works with everything, I have two windows clients (one web-based/Semaphore, and one regular/Tweesecake), and two android clients (Tusky and Patchli). Tweesecake can be found here. I have no idea what is meant by working without windows and such, but it can be used as a regular program.
I found a wonderful site with all sorts of instances to join here. Most work. This is the link to their most popular 100 topics, rather than to the main page.

And groups do exist here! I found a page about them at the below site. It's about Mastodon, but the advice should apply to Friendica as ell.

I just went here.
I saw a way to sort servers. I checked several boxes. But there is no "search", or "go", or "continue" button or link, and all that showed up was a few things. Yet I had several boxes checked. Am I only supposed to check one at a time, and then, the various options are displayed? If so, why did they use checkboxes and not radio buttons? I am not new to computing. I've just never seen anything like what I've observed during the last few days. None of it makes sense!
Hello again!
So, some servers may have a theme, and it may be full of people interested in that certain topic, but they will still post about things, which may be what you were seeing.
Much like friendica.world is your "portal" to the fediverse, other people go through other servers like mastodon.world, beige.party, or mastodon.online. When you see people you want to follow on these other servers, all you have to do is enter their username while you're looking at your Friendica. World account, and then you will receive their posts even though they are on a different server.
One of the downsides of this server currently is that it is fairly new, so us people located on it haven't followed too many people, which leads to *our* side of search not finding much. As long as you have a username you want to follow, that part shouldn't matter though.

I've started looking over north Texas marking the band practice fields I can find with leisure=pitch, sport=marching_band. I am always open for suggestions! Here, you generally find them at high schools on a dedicated field, or part of a parking lot as seen below.

I think you're correct, but I was in choir in school, not band!
Only the schools that have larger parking lots have a full "field" painted. I've seen many that only go from something like the 10 to the 50 yard line, or some that are even shorter without numbering at all.
Unfortunately, giant parking lots are normal in my state (country?). REALLY big parking lots without trees. It is super awful.
Soccer fields after dark sounds pretty cool!
You are very welcome! I do believe the tags you speak of work that way, and I know mastodon has them too, but at this point I don't know if that particular thing crosses over... The good news is that interoperability is increasing all the time!
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions. I might not know the answer, but will do my best to find it!

If people want their children to go to a private school, they should pay for it themselves. If they want their kids to go to a religious school, they should pay for it themselves.
It is interesting that the plan enacted in Arizona has ballooned out of control. I have no doubt the same would happen here in Texas.
"The Texas Legislative Budget Board projected that the cost of Abbott’s voucher program would have ballooned to more than $2 billion annually by 2028."
I really hope this group fails. I'm tired of a minority of people trying to shape the world for their own gain, leaving the rest of us behind.
