Trying to sort out groups...


So, this platform has a pretty good post and friend/follow system, but not sure about groups - it shows the term but I'm just not sure how they work here. Still very new to this whole infrastructure.


Trying out Friendica


Vancouvery reshared this.

in reply to Tananda

@tananda I'm not certain if this is what you're referring to, but something I've noticed missing from Friendica (and the other fediverse alternatives), that Facebook has, is the ability to create communities, especially private ones. Groups are just a forwarding service without any control or moderation tools (beyond muting/blocking). I'm not certain if it's even possible to create private communities using the fediverse ecosystem beyond establishing a private defederated instance, but I think it's something that needs to be explored. YMMV.
in reply to skribe

Yeah I mean in theory there are great open source tools like the older style messageboards?

but yeah I feel like the group thing is missing some. Really just poking at this point

Friendica Help


I need some help. What do these menu items refer to?
Latest activity
Latest posts
Latest Creation
Personal
Starred

Am I right that if I select, for example, my "Friends" circle, Latest Activity will show me the latest comments, posts, shares, and likes of people in my Friends circle? Latest Posts would show me only their posts?

But what do the Latest Creation and Personal items do? And how does one "star" a post or comment?

Hello there fellow database nerd! My day job is SQL Server, but for personal projects I use MySQL. I have a wee bit of Postgres. Thanks for saying hi!

I saw you on sfba mastodon!
I'm a sql server developer / engineer.
I don't call myself a writer anymore because...I'm not writing. No idea when i will again but i am a writer in a general sense. I used to write poetry, essay, nonfiction, with very brief non-serious forays into humor.


Breaking up with Fuckerberg


Should I even bother? I have a developer account but I don't think fuckerberg will allow something like this even if I stay under the rate limit.

Years ago I worked at a startup here in the US and we had to implement a GDPR process for EU customers. I think about that every day as I delete things manually, knowing that the billionaires running this country will never let a GDPR equivalent pass for us.

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.
