@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.

Thanks! Once I get comfortably set up, I'll start proselytizing!


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.

I don’t see where to add alt text. So, this is a photo of a baking sheet covered in white parchment paper and a batter consisting mostly of seeds.
in reply to Julie

I believe you add "a photo of a baking sheet covered in white parchment paper and a batter consisting mostly of seeds.[/img]" at the end of the image url.

@Sunshine @Julie It's [img=url-to-image]this is a photo of a baking sheet covered in white parchment paper and a batter consisting mostly of seeds[/img]. If you uploaded the image directly to the server, just type your alt before [/img].

Or upload the picture separately and add a description to it in Photos.

A Sad Day


We lost one of the realest today,

RIP David Lynch

You left a weird mark on so many of us, and we can never repay you.

Alternative to the Inaugural boycott


Maybe stop virtue signalling about not watching the inaugural. Maybe it's true that we lost cuz we abandoned certain spaces. Maybe Thing 1 on Day 1 shouldn't be to proudly continue to do that.

Let's all go to the nearest sports bar, have some chicken wings and a beer, and take it all in there.

in reply to greg_laden

@greg_laden Totally agree. I think these are the 1st places that we need to occupy in order to get rid of the looming threat of dictatorship. Over the last decade, we've been slowly but surely getting ourselves locked inside our digital lives, abandoning the outside, in the pursuit for a better, perfect place - the way we liked that place. Now the bill is coming and it's not looking too good.

Biden's Farewell Message


President Joe Biden's farewell message is reminiscent of Eisenhower's, in that both warned about a takeover of government by a small cabal of self-interested billionaires.

However, like most things Biden...and I love the guy...he's a little late with his message.

The astounding speed with which the billionaire tech bros and MAGA moron zealots have inserted themselves into the decision-making of the incoming administration is one big difference.

Another difference is that this newer group is into "breaking things," not making things -- except massive profits for themselves.

A third difference is that this group is taking a "whole of government" approach, not just focusing on one department's budget.

Finally, this bunch is introducing us to something worse than an oligarchy. They are bringing us a kakistocracy, rule by the incompetent.

We are in for a rough ride. You can be sure that America's rivals for world leadership will be happy to exploit these transactional idiots. Buckle up. Such a shame. We are becoming Russia, maybe just Hungary, but with the Three Stooges in charge. Sad.

I am vaguely aware of something called Lemmy, which is similar to Reddit, including the inability to delete posts. Why, I don't know. Anyway, I read that it can interact with Friendica. But I'm confused regarding finding forums, joining them, and posting to them. Usually, I go to a website, enter friendica.world, am taken to my homepage, and then authorise the connection. But this seems different. Can anyone help me? Also, I primarily use Tweesecake, not the main site, so I have no idea what the bit about widgets means.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell

@Georgiana Brummell I think you can delete your content from there too. Yes, Lemmy is like a federated version of Reddit (just like Friendica is to Facebook).

Forum


The language in the documentation is a bit old, now the forums have been renamed to groups, but they're the same thing.

Disregarding the language used, you can go to lemmyverse.net/ and then to the communities tab. From there, click or copy the address for any community that you're looking for - the one starting with an exclamation mark - and paste it in the search bar. Once you find it, follow it like you would follow any other person.

To post in a group, simply create a normal post and tag the group with either ! or @.

Keep in mind that for Lemmy you have to add a title to your post, otherwise it will use the first 200 characters in the first line of it as the title and it might look off.

Btw, we also have some groups in Friendica. They're less active than the Lemmy communities, but they're there. And you don't have to add a title to any post to them.

How do you filter all global posts to Friendica instances only?


I would like to see an unique source of content as I check Mastodon separately. I do like the comments under posts from the other platforms though.
in reply to Sunshine

@Sunshine Not sure if it's possible, at least not without an app. That's how the Fediverse works - you get access to every connected network, be it Mastodon, PeerTube, Lemmy, Pixelfed (yes, I saw those too) etc.

In fact, you might have stumbled across posts from other networks on Mastodon too - you only didn't notice because Mastodon and other networks do not display where these actually come from.



For some reason posts from here not appearing on Mastodon

Any idea of resolution timeline? How long has it been happening? I'm also wondering are you seeing an uptick in users since Zuckerberg announced his new hate speech friendly policies?
in reply to Max Riethmuller

@techlife I've been here about a month and they've never shown. Nor do my likes or boosts.

Oh brilliant, thanks for the update, I can stop wondering if it's me haha.

How do I see Groups?


I’m new to Friendica, is there a way to see a list of Groups / create new ones?
Thanks :-)
in reply to Dave M

I'm still figuring out the same thing. For some reason it just shows Lemmy communities.



Anyone here?


I cannot see any posts from friends here, so Idk if anyone has posted anything.

in reply to jjjacq

Seems to be a separate line, no?
- solid green: Frankston, Werribee and Wiliamstow lines
- split green: Stony Point line
?
in reply to phle

On the schematic yes, and that's how it is really,. But on the map I see an orange spur off the orange line going to Stony Point.


The Lift


Doncaster is a large, and very ordinary British town. It's not at all exciting. But this little entertainment troupe managed to inject a little fun into the shopping streets back in 2017.

2017-05-13 - The Lift


I was in Doncaster on 13th May 2017 and on my way back to the station when I chanced upon this peculiar but amusing piece of street entertainment. Performed by a recently disbanded group called Wet Picnic, "The Lift" had three bellhops and this big lift prop... people would pick a floor and trigger a particular show. I shot 20 minutes of this as it was pretty funny and almost missed my train. Later I discovered someone had posted a snippet from this very performance on social media and have spliced in bits of that to give a rare "multi-angle" sequence near the end of this extract. Good fun... I really enjoyed watching this.
