I'm looking for the setting how posts with a lot of text are hidden behind a link.
This setting exists on another instance, but not here.

New to site
Hi all, just starting to learn how to use this site after leaving facebook due to their hate speech changes.
Just so you know, I am what everyone now refers to as trans. This is not something that you decide you want to be you are born this way and cannot change it any more then you can change being human. Yes god made me this way and so the best way to look at it is that its like a major development as a fetus that doesn't develop along the same line as what is considered normal development. Some think of it as a birth defect like so many others that they know about. However too many accept all the misinformation about us and call us perverts/pedophiles etc and just want us destroyed.
I could go on and on about this and how it has effected my life but it will not change how all the lies that has made life harder for me.
Feel free to ask questions and I will answer as best I can.
Stay safe and enjoy life,
Jackie

Remember when that prosecutor said Biden was literally too old to prosecute, and every liberal said yes, very good. This is the rule of law we are the good guys,
(These same people think it's okay for hunter to break gun laws and smoke crack even though his dad wore the bill to jail millions of Black Americans for the same.)

This is where you lost me. There are actually tens of thousands of actual adverbs out there, just waiting to be rediscovered. This one's a sure warning that a statement is edging near the rails, about to go over. Happy to see this one entering its chrysalis stage.

I'm here!
Hello. Not sure if you're already here, or if my Facebook post has inspired you to set up an account. Either way, I assume it's a pleasure to meet you. Guess this is sort of an experiment, no idea if anyone will join me here, but here's hoping.
[EDIT] Oh yeah... took me a while to realise I'd originally posted this as a "Personal Note" that nobody could see. Turns out it needs to be a... uh, some other type of note. You can set it to be visible to everyone, or just to your followers.

Yeah I think you need to follow me for stuff I post to show up. I've just gone and followed you. There's a lot of options and menus and stuff, and I don't quite get them all just yet.
So... it *looks* like you sort of follow everyone on this Friendica server by default. There's a seperate link to just see friends posts, but there's only two of you on here at the moment so it's empty for me.
If we don't tell our friends, they won't come
And we may need to help people once they get here. The fediverse is intimidating, but it might be our only hope as billionaires drop a knee to #DonOld one by one.
Of the fediverse apps I've tried, friendica is the most like facebook
Recommend your favorite friendica server and help get them on it!

My problem is finding groups, especially ones in which I have an interest.
Hopefully it will grow 😀
Hello Worldfriends
There are not many who speak this language, so: English is fine for me too.
I am Wilma, born and raised Dutch and I have many interests. From archaeology to zen gardens and a lot in between.
I am here because I turned my back to Fb ect... And with that also to almost all my friends over there. Some of their reactions hurt me, evidently many people are stuck in old habits, and don't dare to change...So I have to start over again, who dares to meet an old crazy black cat-lady ? 😆 🐈⬛

Back to the gym
First visit to the gym today for several months: a biceps tendon injury had rather interrupted my training plans. I think it's more or less back to normal now, but only one biceps exercise today, and with the lowest weight available, just to be on the safe side.
And pretty low weights on most of everything else too, after taking such a long break. Let's see how much everything aches tomorrow.
Nice thing about going back to the gym today rather than a couple of weeks ago is that most of the resolutioners have given up by this far into the new year, so the gym was nice and quiet.

OK, now it will be cut off after a certain number of characters.
The setting I mean is a little different.

in reply to Thomas • •I think you're looking for a content wrapper, also called a content warning on some systems.
Is there something like that on friendica?
@Ruud
Thomas
in reply to lynfox • •No, see the screenshot in the post. This is from a different instance. So it exists.
