I make things!


Hey friendica, lgbt maker here that builds stuff for the theater. Hope to find a new home here…



Hello Frendica


California checking in. Looking for new social media after deleting Facebook. No more free content for fascists!
Let's talk nature, bikes, GenX retirement, music, and global events.
in reply to Green Hombre

Well, I didn't quit my FB account yet, but definitely looking for alternatives. Also joined mastodon today (it's X alternative). Hi from across the big pond.
in reply to Green Hombre

Hopefully we can form more events and groups on here!




Useless machines & art & CSS


Remember the useless machines? Like the one that had just one button?

Read more on Wikipedia about useless machines

It inspired Philip to publish a page about CSS Art - link in first comment




Seeing these great fediverse platforms makes want to post more


As these open-source platforms are so well made!

If I want to convince more people I know to be here, I will have to make more content.

in reply to Sunshine

I'm still struggling to get the hang of it all or to find relevant content to me -- I also need to learn the art of macroblogging to create content of my own... seems we both have work to do!
in reply to rascalnikov

Lemmy is great for finding different communities that interest you. Friendica needs some work in that department, but a great way to start is to follow hashtags of your interest. They get added to saved searchs, and then show up in your latest posts feed.
in reply to Rob Meyer

I want to find my sister and husband not strangers. I am going to give this platform one more day to work, but if I cannot connect with people I know It is not working.
in reply to Kate Lynne

Have you tried inviting your friends? We all kind of need to migrate together, with our social circles for it to work. If people are not on here already, you will not find them.
in reply to Kate Lynne

(Btw, they do not have to be on Friendica for you to follow them. They can be on Mastodon or any other federated site and should be searchable and able to see their posts once you follow them.)
in reply to Kate Lynne

Trying out the alternatives takes time to figure out. At first I jumped out of linux like it was cold water until I realized the value.

You will be missed if Friendica does not work for you.

in reply to Sunshine

I am a bit lost so far. Making content sounds more involved than just posting thoughts like I have done on FB. I am not sure how I want to build this new world!


New member...


Hey ho.

Just registered and trying to find my way around. ☝🏼☺️



Hello friendica!


This is my cute dog, Muksis, to get your attention.

I am in the train from Tampere to Helsinki. Looking out of the window, seeing beautiful winter scenery, I suddenly had enough of billionaires profiting with my social media and promoting hate speech.

And so, here I am.




New to this- and a question


Hi everyone! I’m an immigrant from Facebook and Instagram and so far like what I see here. But it’s different, and I’m old enough to have that be annoying. Is there actually an app that I can download?

I’m also interested in finding my people, so any tips on searching for groups sharing interests?

Thank you so much!

in reply to Ruud

@ruud @tinagw make sure you have the 0.4.0 version when you download it. The F-droid file is outdated. They are working on getting an app in the play store.
in reply to Rob Meyer

I just downloaded Raccoon for friendica via the F-droid app, and got v.0.4.0.

(I'm trying out the Raccoon, and Fedilab (from Google Play), but may settle for Firefox's "Add to start page" ... which is the one I'm posting this comment from, as the Raccoon gave me "An unexpected error occurred".)

in reply to TinaGW

Ah. I can't find any iOS apps listed on [https://friendi.ca/resources/mobile-clients/]
— I'm unsure of how iOS works with "Add to Home screen", but
go to [https://friendica.world/], then check if something like that is available in the browser settings menu thingie?
This basically gives you a direct-link to that page. Like a bookmark, that you can access "directly". 😅


no idea dude


I just signed up but like what now lol?



Uh ohs.. I angered the Zucks and got in trouble. 😂 "To protect you..." Right.



Been missing the myspace vibe for a while.


This video is a great tutorial on a lot of different topics surrounding profile customization and getting the most out of your friendica experience.


Friendica Tutorial 5 of 6: Friendica is also a myspace alternative! Also account backups v. 2020.06


We will be discussing how to customize your page using BBcode and how to weekly backup your profile in case your instance collapses.
Since the internet was severly lacking it, This is a comprehensive tutorial on how you can do pretty much anything in friendica that you can on facebook. This episode covers how decentrailized social media sites work for the average user, and how to join friendica. PS this is an atheist/liberal/leftish channel and my opinions and beliefs are not that of the friendica organization, so please do not let any of the examples I use have any impact on whether or not you decide to use the site.

They fixed the BBCode error so here is the new code I wrote for your interests

New here. Looking for a new social media to replace Facebook.


Hello! I am hoping this can be my new social media home. I will be inviting some of my friends to come over too.
If you have any advice, please post it!
in reply to Kate Lynne

No advice, I’m still exploring. Also looking to leave Facebook and Instagram.
in reply to TinaGW

Pixelfed is the Instagram alternative.


Haha! She used one of the shots that blocks 🟠🤡 behind a pillar. 😄 Carter Center did the same thing.
RIP Jimmy Carter

Hello World


So here's my first post here! I'm evaluating this as an alternative for my friends, maybe as my parents' friends. Is there anything I should know?


Introduction


Time for an #introduction!

Jan 19
BMPH3 Trail 1971 - Burns Night Trail!
Sun 2:00 PM Avenue du Soldat Britannique 29 1070 Anderlecht
Martijn

🎶Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
And may this year not suck as much
As the last five years combined
🎶

Yes, Burns Night is almost upon us! And since next week’s run actually is on Australia Day (26/1), we’re already celebrating Robert Burns with a trail with a trail and a song this week. So this Sunday, adorn your outfit with a touch of Scottishness or poetry, in honour of the great Scottish bard!

Hares:
Kilty as Charged

Beermeister:
Rumple Foreskin

Start:
The car park of the Onze-Lieve-Vrouw van Vreugde Kerk (Avenue du Soldat Britannique 29, 1070 Anderlecht).
50.815826, 4.283149

Public Transport:
STIB stop Eddy Merckx (metro 1 and 5, bus 74) is just 260m from the start.

Trail:
10,3 km to for the bulls, 8,1 km for the chickens, and 6,7 km for the walkers. Loads of shiggy, but if you’re lucky it will be frozen…

Martijn attends.



This is why we all need to get off platforms owned by tech bros
