Next time you see #aislop on #Facebook that exploits #christian #iconography, send this in the comments if that icon is #Jesus (which it probably is).
in reply to Sheila DeBonis

Ironically, these comics were indeed made via Dalle, but I (or another ambitious artist) may create them out of real art one day. The sequel comic is quite messy and really deserves a remake. I'm not sure why Fatima and some abrahamic prophets are wearing glasses when I don't know if they were invented yet during their lives.

in reply to Lola Darling

People mention MeWe a lot these days, and I tried it a few years ago. The interface was good but it attracted a lot of alt-right users when Twitter and FB actually moderated posts. I didn't stick around long, so I can't speak for the vibe now.


Bookface Repo


Rather than posting code or file attachments on Friendica, I set up a GitLab repository for the "Bookface" theme project. All my future updates will be here:

gitlab.com/randompenguin/bookfā€¦

Please direct dev talk about it to the (now actually existing) @Pygoscelis Papua account.

in reply to Kristi H.

If you are using the "user styles" version in your browser I created a repository for those as well:

gitlab.com/randompenguin/usersā€¦



I think what I need to do is figure out how to separate this from #mastodon as I don't need to read the same posts twice. I really want to reach out and interact with people who are on #friendica vs crossposting. Anyone with any insights on how to maximize this experience and make it different would be appreciated.
in reply to HollerPixie

I'm also very new and wondering what it's all about, so I don't have any advice.


Trying to figure out how to navigate this space.


Clearly new here. Trying to find an alternative for my doom scrolling. Don't want to give any more air to meta.

Today's selection is 80s post punk outfit Rip Rig + Panic. A surprise find from yesterday. Featuring members of the pop group, Neneh Cherry, and some guest spots from Ari Up and Don Cherry. This post-punk and jazz album is not only a powerhouse of talent but sounds fresh and ahead of its time.

Today we dig deep into the sounds of Japanese Wamono - Japanese jazz, funk, soul, rare groove, and disco. Each volume has a slightly different sound. The first one, like most comps, is probably my favourite. The third one is for the city pop lovers and contains Kimono, which I put on many playlists. Plus, that album cover is stunning in pink. šŸ©·āœŒļøšŸ‡ÆšŸ‡µ

MĆ„ske kan europƦerne bedre mƦrke hvad der er ved at ske i USA. I Danmark fĆøles det ligesom dengang tyske tropper samlede sig syd for grƦnsen.

January Watercolor


Every year I create my own calendar. Lets me put birthdays and personally significant events on it without the writing against the wall thing. Most of the time I use photos I've taken over the year. When it's not dark before / after work I usually take photos of the sky. The Puget Sound has some lovely sunrises and sunsets on the regular.

This year, I decided that I'd do watercolors since I've been working on my watercolor skills. This one is the January watercolor. They're all water-focused because painting water is my favorite thing to do.

Super happy how this one turned out. I really love the islands in front and the clouds, too.

in reply to MeyariMcFarland

How beautiful, painting water with water. As water is the element of compassion, life-giving, clearing, it's obvious working with it, is like creating peace. I used to paint in a anthroposophical style, wet in wet. It's peaceful to work this way, your painting shows that same kind of peace .I simply can look at it for a long time, imagining this for being a real place to be. In a world that lacks silence and peace, this is something we need to see much more! I love this! Thank you for sharing, warm greetings from the Netherlands.
in reply to Wilhelmina58

Thank you! I try and paint the things I see around me, not like taking a photo but as they inspire me. The Puget Sound, WA has so many places like this that it frequently shows up in my art.

Thank you for the comment and greetings from the far side of the USA!

Just take your time you will get there if you don't try and rush it.

Stay cool my friend

Hi Jake! I'll be traveling to your lovely country tomorrow, to Utrecht. We also really love your little home town, we've been there twice recently.
in reply to Jake

Nice, hope you had a chance to taste/buy some ā€œstroopwafelsā€


What an Idiot! (I am)


I've just deleted a post, here in Friendica, where I was asking for Pixelfedhelp!
I think I need to get off this box and do some light reading!

Thank you for the kind words, as to the baby steps - well my age is taking me back to them!!šŸ˜„

New here


Okay, here we go. My first post.
I'm new here, and boy, there's a lot to discover. At the same time I am discovering Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and what have you. So bear with me. Thanks.

Do I use hashtags here?
#newhere #newuser #helloworld
I guess I do.

in reply to Erik van Schaaik

I love how a lot of us are or have migrated over the fediverse and decentralized social media platforms such as this, Mastodon, and Pixelfed. I am pretty new here myself!
in reply to Kenziekenz

I agree. And I like your bio. And your cat. I painted a cat, a couple of days ago. Let me post it to you. My first pic-post. Let's see...

Ah. There you go!

Bad News Thursday


It has appeared as though my mood has dipped in a rather inconvenient fashion and now I am trying to cope with that. Sleep deprivation and listening to a sad audiobook probably didn't help with that. Lol Here's to hoping that I'll get distracted enough for that to go away.

@Ruud
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.
@Ruud
in reply to Thomas

Ahh yes I wanted to enable that but hadn't yet šŸ˜€
It's now enabled and can be found under Settings > Addons > "Show More" settings
in reply to Ruud

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

The maximal pixel height of posts before the Show More link is added, 0 to disable
@Ruud
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
