We are still celebrating #ilovefs ❤️ day with some events in Italy and Albania today!

While we gather all the pictures from the different events, we wanted to share with you an amazing video we received from the mother (and singer) of our colleague @sofiaritz

There are so many ways to say #thankyou to your favourite #FreeSoftware projects, what is yours?

synchronisation between instances


!Friendica Support I just noticed that my Friendica account is listed as a mutual on my mastodon instance. My Friendica instance however lists my mastodon account as just following, and not as a follower. Do I have to do something extra? I already tried selecting my mastodon account on Friendica and clicking on update but that did not help.

It took a couple of tries and there were a couple of 'user not found' messages when following and unfollowing my mastodon account. A final "re-fetch contact data" turned my mastodon account in a mutual. All is well now.

Now back to fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event…, the presentation that lead me into this adventure 😁

How do I delete a photo album?


!New To Friendica I have this empty photo album that I want to delete. How do I get rid of it? When I click the name I get an url that ends with a long hex number. Friendica asks for a confirmation when I add /drop to the url and hit enter. After clicking 'Delete Album' Friendica tells me that the album cannot be found.

This album was created in the default language of my webbrowser. I changed to British English somewhat later, before deciding on adding a profile picture. My profile picture got created in a new album called 'Profile photos'. I want to get rid of the older non english album.

Years ago, I went to a birthday party in a small town. I went to a general store and asked if they had balloons. The fellow said yes. I asked if they had any in fun shapes and he said, "depends on how amusing you find circular". For some reason that's lived in my brain for years.

Troubleshooting


I've been troubleshooting the issues we keep having with Friendica.world.

The site gets unresponsive at nights (CET) around 3AM, and stays that way for a couple of hours. I've been trying to find the reason for that, but no luck yet.

It's not the backup (that runs at a different time), nor are the resources at 100%.

I did just change a setting for pm.max_children which defines the number of php-fpm processes which handle the web traffic, because I saw some errors about it having reached the max. This will fix some issues, but not sure if it fixes the freezing of the site.. We'll see I guess..

Volunteers


If there are people with some technical skills, wanting to help out running this thing (or any other instance we run), please send me a DM or mail info@friendica.world.
It's all volunteer work, and we can use some extra hands.

Donations


You can use this instance for free, but if you would like to and are able, you could help us funding the running costs by making a donation: ko-fi.com/fhfworld

Friendica and Mastodon


!New To Friendica I'm on Friendica.world and floss.social. I feel a bit puzzled by having two seperate fediverse accounts. What's the best practice? Keep both, and syncing the follows and followers? Dropping one or the other?

I really like my mastodon server and I believe it's impossible to see its timeline on my Friendica instance. Am I correct in believing this?

I also like my Friendica instance. My mastodon is specialising in floss, my Friendica is more general. I like the news items that appear on Friendica's local timeline.

So, I am thinking of making Friendica my main instance on the fediverse. I will read my news and all the toots from my follows and followers on Friendica and I will regularly check my mastodon instance for the local floss timeline.
