Bluesky addon disabled temporarily


Due to the ongoing backlog in worker jobs, I've disabled the Bluesky addon. This generated a lot of extra jobs, and I want to focus on getting the queue empty and the worker issue fixed before enabling it again.

Sorry about that.

in reply to Ruud

At the current rate, it would take 19 days to get the job queue processed. This is not acceptable so we keep working on this issue.

Image test

@ajsadauskas Interesting ... just checked your post in the android-app Raccoon: here I can see 6 blurry images.

Maybe I'm just on a "slow connection"? 🤔

... aaand then again, I can't post from Raccoon. Weird. 🤨


Works from the Fedilab android app, though.

Here, too, the images are blurred out (which, at least, is more than via Firefox, where I just got the placeholders), and here I also get a more informative "can't load remote image" message.
(edit: the message I get is "Media cannot be loaded!", with a "Load media remotely" button (that seemingly does nothing))



Starting the process of dumping the zuckerverse


@lynfox

Created a friendica.world account and connected it to myself on mastodon and pixelfed.au

If this works I'll start subverting my family and friends on fb & insta.
Closing those dodgy accounts is my project for 2025.

Please be aware that we're having an issue causing federation to Mastadon and others to lag behind.. sorry about that



View Bluesky posts on Friendica


Hey all, I would like to follow a few #Bluesky folks that haven't made it to the Fediverse. Is there a way to follow them here? When I try to search for an account, I am just getting a No Matches modal.


Today I setup a #Peertube instance and live streamed as a test, just to learn something new. It wasn't very difficult, deploying with Docker.
in reply to Dartly

How much resources is needed for a Peertube instance? I imagine with video it can get taxing.


Hi everyone!


I am David from Singapore. I asked ChatGPT what are the Facebook alternatives out there and Friendica is one of those recommended. So here I am to explore around.
While the community is small, I like the fact that these is no ads. A good start.

Welcome! I am a newbie, too. The water is nice!

Welcome! Mark Zuckerberg thinks we're virtue signalling for migrating away from Facebook, What a ringing endorsement hehe.

I’m trying out the Metatext app (iOS) to read Mastodon feeds: not bad at all! Also nice: I had no trouble adding a Friendica account to it. So I can switch between them. Nice…
in reply to nukleos

Thank you for the recommendation. I should check that app out!
in reply to Sunshine

@sunshine After two weeks with Metatext, my only issue with the app is that I still am learning to click on images to see them completely - Metatext shows only part of most of them when scrolling through your timeline. But that’s something I’ll learn soon!



Deleted a couple of posts that, upon rereading, came off as passive-aggressive.





Big day for the fediverse


Major news in the #fediverse: #Mastodon becomes a non-profit ; and Instagram replacement #pixelfed , which is seeing a big surge in membership as people flee Meta, launches mobile apps.

And while we're on the subject, let me point to Loops, a fediverse alternative to TikTok which is just now getting off the ground.

Helen Jojo Blackforest reshared this.

in reply to leastaction

I tried to join gram.social but the email confirmation didn't come in for a long while and then it didn't work. I requested another one. Maybe things are funky because of the influx.
in reply to Helen Jojo Blackforest

I suspect that may be the case. Normally it's pretty straightforward to join an instance.


Hello Friendica!


Hello everyone. Seems that Facebook maybe going the same way as Twitter, so it looks like time to explore alternatives. So here I am.


@Ruud I know posting publicly works because of the engagement I have on those posts, even from other Friendica servers. But it appears that anything I've posted with "Limited" visibility to just "Followers" or "Friends" cannot be seen by my contacts in those Circles, even if they're on this same server. They should be able to see them but have told me, via other platforms, that they can't. They can only see my public posts.

On FB I mostly post with limited scope rather than publicly, I'd like to do the same here, but this doesn't seem to be working. Everything I've posted has a little hourglass icon on it with a tooltip that reads "Notifier task is pending" so are my "Limited/Private" posts just getting lost in the process queue?

@Ruud
in reply to Kristi H.

They probably are still in the queue... I'm still working with the Friendica developers to get this issue resolved github.com/friendica/friendica…
The queue is going down, but too slow, it would take 30 days for it to go to 0, so this needs to be fixed soon!


Test.

Wo erscheint dieser Beitrag denn nun? 🤔
