How do we create groups here?


!Facebook Refugees I stumbled across this group by accident. Are groups here on friendica similar to groups on facebook?
in reply to Ruud

Thank you. How will I know when you have (only for info, not as pressure)? Also, I have read the Friendica directory and I am still unsure how to find groups that I might like to join...groups that have a common interest of mine.







Je débarque


Pas encore regardé de tuto, pour l'instant je comprends pas grand chose (alors que sur Masto je suis un power user)


I've been busy trying fediverse apps and different servers 😁


in reply to effariwhy

Did you have to make a new account for each server/website or could you sign up for one fediverse website and use the same account you signed up with that fediverse instance for other fediverse accounts? Just wondering since I'm new to all of this and I want to join another friendica instance other than friendica.world without leaving this instance as my home instance?
in reply to Wrisk

I had to make one on every instance. I only encountered one instance (I think it was a pixelfed instance) that would let you register with an existing mastodon account.
in reply to effariwhy

Thanks for letting me know. Its been confusing trying to figure the fediverse websites out. The easiest I found so far using was matsodon and pixelfed. Still trying to figure out how to make a group on here.
in reply to Wrisk

As I've understood it (yes, I'm very new, and may be wrong), Friendica groups are basically
- "one dummy profile" ← the group
- people sharing (non-publicly?) with that dummy profile

The group owner starts a *uh* subprofile? in the settings.

I saw a how-to video somewhere ...

in reply to effariwhy

I'm also trying loops.video but the source code is not publicly available yet. I'm not a fan of being forced into a phone app. Browser first IMHO.

Future projects


As I close in on having a version of the WIP to send to my editor, I've begun to think about what's in the writing queue. I already have a cover for a historical titled Miss Fiona Harper's Night of Passion and I have a very solid idea for a novella with this story. Typically, I can write a novella in about 6 weeks. It's going to be fun story to write while the WIP is at my editor.


Okay. This is much easier! At least I found a good way to use the site while away from Windows.


This is ridiculous. I can't even find where I am with a phone using Pachli. It's absolutely nothing like TweeseCake. I can read posts and respond to them, but I have to keep scrolling and can't immediately go to the top or bottom of a list. So if I haven't used this since October 2024, I have to arrow to the posts from the present, which means literally thousands upon thousands of keystrokes. Even when I go to notifications, I'm not sure if I'm reading current things or older ones. I'm sure Tusky is the same, since Pachli is based on it. I can try racoon, but I'm guessing it won't have great keyboard support either. Not everyone wants to use a touchscreen! Fortunately, from what I know, the makers of Pachli really do care about accessibility, so perhaps, something can be done to increas the number of keyboard shortcuts.

in reply to Pachli

@Pachli I sincerely thank you for such a prompt response! But can this be done from the keyboard? If so, how?
in reply to Georgiana Brummell

I haven't tried it, but if your device supports Talkback then support.google.com/accessibili… lists the keyboard shortcuts for navigating around the screen.

I have just tried with Talkback gesture navigation and that lets me navigate to the menu, open it, and choose "Load newest posts", so I expect the keyboard shortcuts to do the same thing should work.

Nod will be put up for adoption soon with his brother. I will miss them, but we have way too many cats
