Click on the leftmost icon on top and look at the drop-down menu.
How do you post on here, though? 😄




in reply to Michelle Marie

If you go to your contacts tab, you'll see options for the local server here, and globally.

If your friend is here on friendica.world you can just look up their name. Otherwise you'll search for @[namehere]@[server.com]

If your friend needs to set up an account, you can send an invite as well with their email.

"Notifier task is pending": what this means?


Friendica's web frontend shows an hourglass icon with the pop-up title "Notifier task is pending". When I initially posted, it was kind of expected since I had just posted. However, days have passed and all my posts, including the oldest one, are still displaying the icon. Why?
in reply to Daemon Silverstein

Because we have an issue lagging behind in job processing. It's catching up but at current speed would still take 11 days. Working with Friendica devs to get it sped up.
in reply to Ruud

Seems this is still a problem? Have you seen any progress, or are you butting your heads against the figurative wall?
in reply to Lemmus

@Ruud Sorry to be a nuisance, but is there any progress or ETA on this? Every posting I've made since I joined here a few days ago still has "that hourglass". I'm not expecting or not not expecting anything, just curious.
@Ruud


Still learning about the fediverse. So far, I also have mastodon, lemmy, and pixelfed. Hoping to set up a few more today. I'm also purging all posts and media from fuckerberg socials. It's a daunting task.


actually i haven't used facebook for years, i just wanted to see how things are going here.
in reply to wing

@wing lol! There are people, haha (myself included). But the more successful are the microblogging platforms like Mastodon, so that's where people go. That doesn't mean that you can't find content, thank god ActivityPub exists. But people are so used to writing just one or two lines of text and call it a day that they do not care about the alternatives.

Anyway, I don't wanna go on with this, but if you want to follow content, check out fedi.directory, the Friendica directory, some of the accounts on Flipboard that enabled federation or this list. I'm sure there are some more. If you can't find what you're looking for, but it has a website, it most likely has an RSS feed. Paste the website in the address bar and it will find it.

You'll likely feel yourself a bit overwhelmed with information, so add those contacts to circles to streamline your content.

I'm not new to the Fediverse, but I am new to Friendica. I wanted to check it out as well, and I like the ability to write a proper essay. When I discovered Friendica used BBCode I was quite happy, nothing I have used recently has had support for that. 💘


is there anybody out there

Nope, sorry, I'm in here, not out there! ;)


Anyone else play the NYT games?

Hello. Is there anyone out there?


I'm struggling with the recent changes at Facebook. But I'm not a twitter type guy. I like the way Facebook allows us to share what we are doing and how I can keep in touch with friends. And how I can post to only friends.

So here I am, looking to see if Friendica is a platform for me.

in reply to Eric Miller

I have burned whatever technical and social capital I once had trying to make friends get off unethical platforms. Even though I have failed miserably in that, it doesn't stop me from trying to contribute to building communities on ethical platforms myself.

Mark reshared this.

in reply to Lemmus

So far I got one friend to come over! It's a start.

Actie Ahmadzai 28-9-2014


Nederland liet in 2014 een groep mensen in de steek in Afghanistan, mensen die voor Defensie gewerkt hadden en hun leven na vertrek van de Nederlanders niet zeker waren. Zoals de tolken die onze militairen geholpen hadden.

Een van hen is de heer Ahmadzai. In 2014 voerden we actie om hem en zijn gezin veilig te stellen:

"Stap 1 is gezet: Fred Teeven heeft besloten de asielaanvraag van Ahmadzai Help Abdul Ghafoor Ahmadzai aan een verblijfsvergunning toch in behandeling te nemen.
Nu afwachten wanneer de IND klaar is met onderzoek.
Ondertussen blijft tekenen van de petitie wél belangrijk. Laat zien dat je mededogen kent en vóór een goede regeling voor mensen die in dienst van het Nederlandse leger risico's hebben gelopen en niet terug kunnen naar hun land."

petities.nl/petitions/asiel-vo…

Nu (al bijna 11 jaar later) staat de petitie nog steeds online met een dankwoord en een tekening van de kinderen van Abdul Ahmadzai.

Ik voerde destijds redelijk stevig actie op Twitter om hen te helpen. Toen was Twitter nog redelijk sociaal.
