I've started a Friendica howto page, for new Friendica users to find help using the site.
For now, there's only 1 article yet, the next ones will be about the Bluesky plugin (thanks to @Walter Vermeir for writing that up) and creating/using groups.

Check here: help.friendica.onl

Edit 04-02-2025: I changed the URL because there were issues with the wildcard domain name used for the Bluesky connector.

I get the homepage of Friendica.World on my screen, with the login. When log in, i come back In Friendica again, not in the manual. I work with a laptop, probably it's just for mobiles?

No. Do you get the login right after clicking this link above?
I did put a link to the 'New To Friendica' group on the help page, that can lead you to a login. But I now removed that link to avoid confusion.

When I go to help.friendica.world I get the login page. I can login (even when I am already logged in. And I am send to 'friendica.world' after that.

Hmm. Has to be something to do with the *.friendica.world in nginx which is there for the Bluesky bridge (which doesn't work anyway).. I need to figure that out. Tomorrow.
No clue why it works for me (and others)

Tried, on the same computer;
Firefox (main browser), Opera and Chromium.

Same.

help.friendica.world gives default login. After login loads friendica.world

Just tried on my win11 work computer;

Firefox & Edge ; works. No login.

Smartphone; firefox, again the login screen

My password with a _ character is rejected. That's a legitimate non-number, non-letter character, as your password specifications call for. Why?
in reply to Ruud

It has to do with the wildcard domain I use for the Bluesky connector.

Don't want to troubleshoot this, I'll just change the domain name for the help page. Hang on.
