Longing for summer
I'm no person for winter. Some people think all Dutch like snow, ice and speedskating, but I'm not one of them. I'm longing for summer. Or spring. Nice, warm weather. Guess I'll have to wait a few months. 😑

We had a great day on the river. But we had to climb a lot and it took us a lot of time (the picture is from an easy spot). The bank was soft from all the water and the trees were slippery from the frosty coating. The freezing fog was eating away at our faces and making our fingers capable of handling. So halfway along the route, I called a buddy to pick us up. The right time to end a tour like this is when you are still able to act.
Incidentally, everything was well thought out and planned. We know the route and have exit points at short intervals. The buddy on land was ready to pick us up. And of course we had the right equipment to go swimming in winter and to rescue ourselves. And yet, "biting through” is something for fitness studios, on the river it can quickly cost you your life

It seems that there is a lot of background work going on. I'll have to follow this to see if it will be resolved, or if we would need more resources. Some updates may be delayed.
Groups on friendica.world
Hi Friendica noob here. I keep reading that friendica has groups much like Facebook. I can't figure out how to do it. Is anyone willing to show me how to do it?

Hello All!
I'm mainly enjoying my time on calckey.world, but I've been exploring a few Fediverse offerings - inspired by @Elena Rossini on Sharkey
I just wanted to share a quick observation here.
First, for whatever reason, Friendica does not handle the "Latest Activity" Channel very well. When I try to use that "filter", the page doesn't load or takes a very long time. Even if the page loads properly, the feed does not refresh as per settings.
For now, I've simply removed that Channel to avoid the issue. I'm fairly new and couldn't figure out the difference between latest post vs latest activity anyway.
Second, another issue is when I try to load the "Groups" Circle, the page does load slowly. I only have 5 lemmy groups there to test things out. I'm guessing something isn't playing well there.

@rushSteady From my experience, "Latest activity" shows the posts with the biggest amount of activity (i.e. likes, comments etc.) - this means that if an older post gets more likes, comments etc. than a newer one, that one is boosted to the top. If you use Reddit, it's similar to how the "Hot" page works. I generally go to "Latest posts" to have my feed display in chronological order, strictly according to post age.

Although 95% of people think they’re self-aware, only 10 to 15% actually are:
Possibly the best thing I have read this week. Probably to the surprise of no one in the workplace, HBR found that after a 5 year study, only about 10 to 15% of your coworkers are self-aware of the way they relate to those around them.
Some interesting stats to unpack here, along with tips on how to deal with the EQ-challenged:

Even though self-awareness—knowing who we are and how we’re seen—is important for job performance, career success, and leadership effectiveness, it’s in remarkably short supply in today’s workplace.Harvard Business Review

It's the middle of January. Why do I keep seeing posts related to Christmas? It's not a bad thing, just odd.

Well here I am.
I've been meaning to try out Friendica for a while now. I'm very interested in moving on from Meta and finding ways to bring my friends along. One platform may not do it so I'm trying a few out. Already have Mastodon and Pixelfed, maybe one of these will attract some of my friends and we can all enjoy the Fediverse together!

One big stumbling block for many of my friends is going to be the lack of an iOS app. I tried a few but had no luck. The homepage mentions no compatible apps as yet.

Okay. I was able to do it. But honestly, it's incredibly difficult and time-consuming! There is some kind of dialogue that I must get into, and I must do it exactly right or it won't work. Whever happened to just hitting a link and being placed in a normal edit box! I do this so rarely from the main site that I'm sure I will forget again. Seriously, can someone please fix this?
Hello, everyone 👋
This is my first time posting to friendica!
For a little about me, I am a fantasy writer, artist, and history nerd. My posts will likely end up being somewhere between those topics.
Here is an example of a drawing of one of my characters.
I do struggle with a chronic illness so I might not be able to post regularly, but I look forward to chatting on here!

Hi Briar. I just joined the platform too. I love the art, it's incredibly dynamic. I play live action roleplaying games, and love at reflects the high medieval fantasy aesthetic. Keep them coming!

Hello world
Is this visible on Mastodon? Anyone?

It's not broken, it's just realllly slow!
Managed to at least get it to have the queue getting smaller, but it will still take 16 days before it is caught up (after that everything should be on Mastodon immediately)
But I'm still hoping we can speed this up..

@kmh Excellent! Just a tip: Friendica allows code formatting, which makes readability better, while also escaping the code (depending on markup language, some sequences or characters, such as asterisk and underline, could accidentally be parsed as bold/italic).
I don't fully remember which one is the valid syntax for the web version, I guess it's the markdown one (I'm using an Android app to access Friendica, and the app allows me to set either bbcode, html or markdown):
Bbcode: [ code ]your code[ /code ] (remove the spaces)
Html: < code >your code< /code > (remove the spaces)
Markdown: three grave accents (`) in a single line, then the code, then another single line with three grave accents.
Example:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
}Becomes:
html, body {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 100%;
}Hope this helps!
Thanks! I put the entire thing inside of [pre]...[/pre] but somehow I scrolled right past the "code blocks" part of the Friendica BBCode reference.

Testing testing, this thing working? Coming to Friendica from that other blue book site, already on Mastodon, I'm a big fan of the Fediverse and ActivityPub protocol. Let's see if I can get this thing going, gonna take some time but gonna give it a shot.

I’m going to try a cooking experiment now!
Everyone in my household fell madly in love with a type of seed cracker. I know, it doesn’t sound very exciting, but maybe you just haven’t had these crackers? Anyway, they are $7-9 dollars a box, which is highway robbery! So I decided to buy the ingredients to make them myself. The first problem is that the ingredients were, in fact, very expensive! Maybe there’s a reason they charge so much. I shall attempt to make them and report back later.
