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. 🙈)



salve!


Just joined, any recommendations on who to follow?
in reply to fxomt

@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.

Thanks for the shoutout 🙏

I also have a website at fedi.directory



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.

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. 😑

In order to not fall afoul of the First Amendment, the USG must prove that the Chinese gov is manipulating what Americans see on Tiktok and accessing American's data. There's no evidence of either. And China can buy the data on the open market anyway.

Welcome to Friendica.World !


I had set this server up a while ago, but with the recent FB drama, we see a lot of new users registering. Almost a thousand, and counting!

Let's first introduce myself, I am Ruud, a database admin from The Netherlands who as a hobby hosts Fediverse instances like mastodon.world, lemmy.world and a lot of others.
Together with @stux⚡ I founded a non-profit foundation for owning our instances: fedihosting.foundation.

The Friendica.World server isn't 100% ready, there's still some tweaking and polishing needed. For example we need to add a ToS and rules. They will be the same as on mastodon.world/about

Also, we are still trying to resolve an issue where the jobs aren't being processed as quickly as we would like. We've opened an issue with the Friendica developers: github.com/friendica/friendica…
Currently there are 612000 jobs still pending and daily this gets down by 39000 jobs, so after 16 days it should be at 0 and everything should be instantaneous. We're hoping we can somehow speed this up.
Result of this issue is that things are lagging behind, like federation to other servers (mastodon, other friendica's etc), notifications etc.

We hope you'll bear with us until this is fixed.

Meanwhile, check out a set of tutorial videos: peertube.stream/w/7cntKfMgHqX9…

If you have any questions or remarks, message me, or mail info@friendica.world.

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.

@Friendica Support

in reply to rushSteady

@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:

Just trying out this application for the first time.


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!
in reply to Wade Stewart

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.
in reply to Wade Stewart

Ah, that will be a problem. I hadn't realised. Thanks for the heads up.


Here we go again, with the same old questions that were never answered or resolved.

I have an old post of mine that I want to edit on Friendica. I can go to the site and see it. I can even click on "edit". Then, no matter what I do, I am unable to change anything. I am put in a text edit box, and when I leave it, I am sent back to the page, as if I never hit "edit" at all. In the past, I have, with extreme patience and a lot of wasted time, been able to edit posts from the main site, but this time, it's not working. I'm not sure if it's simply a lack of screen reader accessibility or if there is a time limit to edit posts. This one that I specifically put on my profile for people to read. If posts expire or if I can't properly edit them, I will need to delete this repost it, then readd it to my profile. Even Tweesecake can't help, since the post is beyond its time range! Can anyone please help me? I don't know why certain things on Friendica are so difficult to do with screen readers.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

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?
