This is confusing. I posted this screenshot before, but can't find it in the group now (using Racoon).

This is what the group looks like in Racoon (providing you switch to classic mode first, otherwise it doesn't even show this)

😍 Racoon BTW, this is only about pinpointing issues with groups.

@FriendicaTalk

The groups test (Hereby dubbed the #fediGroupTest )

  1. Create a group for your local community (neighbourhood, village, town or something else of your liking)
  2. Invite a friend or relative who is currently not using the fediverse to participate
  3. Have your new contact post or reply to something in the group

What are the arguments against Friendica


!Friendica Talk
I was asked by @Morten Juhl-Johansen

Im talking purely from a "mobile first" point of view and using groups

I think the UX is too overwhelming and complex. Its not about whether its pretty or not. It would be a nightmare to guide someone who is not a big fediverse fan to use a group in Friendica instead of FB.

We would need to build a new mobile UI and clients for iOS and Android (improve Racoon)

Maybe there's potential, but the UX needs improvement.

There's no way on God's green earth I could get my acquaintances who aren't into computers & Fedi to use this instead of FB groups

Fuck it. Friendica.world is unmoderated and buggy, I'm going back to @november.

Wanted to use and like Friendica but I guess it's just not to be.

I created a group called FriendicaApp to discuss questions and ideas around Friendica. But I struggle to find it in the UI of the Fedilabs app for Android.

Does anyone know how to find Friendica groups in the Fedilabs Android client?

@Cătă 🇷🇴🇺🇦🇲🇩🇪🇺 thanks for the great answer. Yes I'm trying out different things and #Racoon seems to be the best working app for mobile.

In my question I was thinking about groups one has already joined. In Racoon I wish there'd be a more prominent top level link to groups instead of circles -> groups -> groupName

Its really unclear whether I'm posting to a group right now or just @-ing you in general.

My "dream" is to find a way of offering an alternative to FB groups for local communities. But then ease-of-use and "ease of understanding" must increase.

Och Elon Musks X är vårt sätt att meddela oss med sagda folk. Men det kräver att medborgarna registrar sig på en amerikansk plattform och att de godkänner att personlig data samlas in om dem och att de exponeras för annonser. I annat fall får det vara. Känn er ägda. Plebs.

Created a group, now let's use it...


So I created a group called "DemoGroup" (demo_group). I can view and edit it's "profile" in manage accounts. But I can't find it anywhere in the UI when I'm back to my regular user ("Fossfan")... So now the issue is - how do I use this group of mine...

Evryone who likes to test feel free to join it (if you can find it 😀, I can't 🙃)

The state of Friendica


It's worrysome that this site has had that message about performance issues since I first registered this summer (or was it even earlier? don't remember).

I discussed Friendica with different people on Mastodon and someone said that Friendica as a project is alive and well and the codebase is being rewritten. Is there any truth to that?

in reply to Fossfan Leander (f.w)

So this is what it looks like when I try to create a group. I realise the message about Lemmy is the same that's been on this site since this summer when I first registered "We're continuing investigation to the performance issues, you can follow and react here: lemmy.world/c/friendicaworld

So what am I supposed to do with the form?
