Getting Through The Day


Despite my resolution to keep the bad stuff out of my head this time around, too much has already leaked in. Not so easy to see the end of all we worked, sacrificed and struggled to accomplish.

But life goes on. The fragrance of roasted millet. The sparkle of sun on the snow. The laughing, little girl, wielding a pink snow shovel, fighting back against efforts to clear the sidewalk.

Creating groups?


I'm trying to find how to create a group on Friendica. According to the docs, it should be under the "Contacts" tab, but I'm not seeing it there.

Perhaps you need to check the settings "Settings" → "Account" → "Security and privacy" → {"Publish your profile in local site directory?", "Allow your profile to be searchable globally?"}? (I haven't tested this at all myself, just a (probably misguided) attempt at being helpful. 😀





New to here


Found Friendica from a post on Mastodon. I’ve been off X for a year and tried Bsky but got lots of trolls and women with no posts or biogs who all shared youth and large appurtenances. Still on Facebook due to friends and groups but highly restricted. And yes young ladies also want to be friends there. I joined my first political party at age 71, the Lib Dem’s. They are not perfect but they have some amazingly talented MPs.



Question on Profile.


Just joined but looked through the settings to add a photo to my profile but can't find it. What am I missing, or where is it please?


I'm #newhere


I've just created an account so I'm exploring. I've heard that it's possible to integrate Friendica with Mastodon and Disapora* to some extent so I'll be looking for pointers in that direction!
in reply to Chris - Dadmin2

It is pretty automatic, a Mastodon user can follow a Friendica user, and vice versa. The problem is, this server is currently bogged down, so the flow out from here to the rest of the Fediverse is severely delayed. I have a Mastodon account where I follow this account (to figure out how this works in practice), and stuff I posted this Saturday still hasn't appeared. (I'm new here as well, so not speaking for the admins or anything like that, just sharing my experience.)
in reply to Chris - Dadmin2

Thanks for sharing.

I've made some progress. I've followed my Mastodon and Diaspora* accounts here and found that for Diaspora* following only works from Friendica to Diaspora* and can't be done the other way round.

I'm also working through setting up my own Friendica server. I've just managed to log in with my admin account so I'll see how that goes!

Survival


The Nazis have arrived.

If I don't get fired, arrested, or executed, I just might survive the next fours years ... or longer.

I have nature, therapists, alcohol, meds, pets, and guitars.

Toward survival, I have a slim chance.

Bon chance

Lykke til



Tuesday Action Day


Today, you take five minutes to contact your Senators and Representatives, and tell them to push back again any and all executive orders from the Nazi administration.

Hello, just created my account. Is there a way to create a group similar to what we have on Facebook here?
in reply to Nadru

Join a group, e.g. !New To Friendica . Then go to the network icon (the three by three squares up to the right), then you should something like my screenshot below. Pressing that plus sign brings you to a menu where you can create a group. A group is really a special kind of account in Friendica, no more, no less. A better explanation is coming up from the admins in the group I referred here.

An update on the worker issue at Friendica.World


I haven't heard back on the GitHub issue for a few days now. Not sure we'll be able to get the process tuned to get more jobs done any time soon.
Meanwhile, it seems the speed has improved a bit without any changes, no idea why. It's now doing a bit over 70000 jobs per day. The queue currently is at 370000, which means somewhere this weekend it should be caught up.

Then we can carefully try to re-enable some features that we disabled, like the Bluesky bridge, and contacts discovery etc.

I've opened a second issue for help on enabling the mail connector: github.com/friendica/friendica…

in reply to Ruud

Thanks for the info. Sorry for pestering you in arbitrary threads. 😀
in reply to Ruud

My frst post from 12 days ago has now been processed... 🥳 Let's hope it keeps catching up fast enough.

I just tried the friendica app on Windows, and I don't understand it at all. It's exactly the same as the website, from the layout, to the inaccessible parts. Why would I want to install any program that acts and looks exactly like a website? Is this some strange sighted thing?

I'm learning myself. What do you need to start?
in reply to rushSteady

I was having trouble getting pages to load, uploading my picture, and just generally getting use to the navigation. I figured it out, but was still pretty frustrating.
in reply to Lola Darling

Yeah, the UX needs help, and onboarding is *awful*. The website looks like a 1990s enterprise app. They need some *serious* design help.

in 2025 we're not giving an inch to the faux opposition that always supports the machine.
