Question for friendica devs
Do you know if it is possible to implement a feature here where a user could upload their data from another platform (specifically Facebook) and get automatic "memories"-style posts (which they can choose whether or not to post) here on the anniversary dates of the old posts?
I think it would be a big selling point for people moving away from Meta to have such a feature. A lot of us spent the better part of 15 to 20 years there and don't want to lose everything.

We have a strange democracy in America
Progressive and centrist Americans are apoplectic over of Trump's nominees, and the prospect that all (or almost all) will be confirmed. But this is how we do it. We elected Trump fair and square, and the president gets his cabinet. These hearings are not really a yes/no prospect most of the time. They serve a different purpose: To pave and shape the political arena that this presidency will operate in for the next few years. So the hearings are important, but they are not really there to decide who gets in each of these jobs.

Urgh. Should I maybe just stop using #touchscreen technology, until ... spring?
My fingers won't cooperate, and I accidentally … stuff. 😒
Or give those stylus things another go.
They're just one access point, though, so no "zooming", and the stylus tip ?dries out?
— and conveniently, I usually don't forget to bring my #fingers, but a stylus is easy to forget.
/has very #dry #winter #hands — I'm sorry for all the accidental 👎's

@phle There are also some gloves that allow you to use the touchscreen too. I have a pair, and I can only use my pointer fingers with them, but they work brilliantly.
The alternative would be to sew a conductive wire yourself into an existing pair of gloves of yours, but for me, I found out that this option is more expensive and not worth the hassle.

Oh, right!
I actually bought some some years ago. I've been using them enough for them to "give up", but I actually have a second pair (that I bought at the same time) laying around ... somewhere.
... it's just that it feels weird / seems silly to have outdoor gloves on indoors.
Then again, I wear work gloves indoors. Hm.
(Had to check them up: "glider gloves" ... bought them 2018. 🙈)
@fxomt That's because friendica.world is quite new, lol. Back when I joined, mine was among the biggest and a few others like venera.social. I don't know what ruud is doing, but whenever he starts a server for a new platform, it is doomed to boom. It's at least the 2nd time it happens after Lemmy.
Btw, to find and follow some accounts, follow hashtags, lists of popular accounts like this one, @FediFollows, browse the Friendica directory, or follow Flipboard accounts. If you can't find anything, you can also paste a website in the search bar and it will find it's RSS feed.

Feditips: Verwendung von Web-Apps
Hallo zusammen,
wie so viele bin ich #neuhier und erkunde das fediverse mit friendica. Dafür habe ich keine optimale IOS App gefunden und mich sehr über den feditip zur Web-App gefreut. Wusste bisher nicht, dass dies ein Unterschied zu einem schnöden Lesezeichen ist. Da ich nicht in der Lage war den Original-Beitrag zu teilen, hier der Link für alle Neulinge.

in reply to j. Gavin Moore • •I'm a web developer myself, and I don't think it would be too crazy of an ask, but I don't know anything about the format of a FB user data or post-history export.
This question was originally asked to me by @Julie (thanks!)

in reply to j. Gavin Moore • • •@j. Gavin Moore No Friendica dev myself, but damn, that would be cool. This is exactly what Pixelfed is doing with Instagram.
If you go to Settings>Additional features>Network Widgets and enable the Archive one, you get the ability to view your timeline for a specific date in the past. If your profile is older than a year, you can also click on "on this date" to see what went in your feed exactly a year (i.e. 18.01.2024) before (or whichever specific date you selected.
If you also select Personal afterward, you can see all your interactions on the desired date. It also shows your likes tbh, but hey, it works!
Also, you're much more likely to have the devs see if you post on !Friendica Support. I'm no dev myself.
