more questions/help
it seems there are groups I am following but cannot post in. How can I write questions in these groups? They ask me to sign in, but I only have my Friendica info to do that and that doesn't seem to be working. So how does one register so that one can make posts in that group?

more questions/help
I wanted to go directly to Friendica support but when I went to write a post, it asked me to sign in. I signed in using my Friendica info but got the message that it was wrong. So obviously, to actually see a group (i.e. what they are posting), I need to be in the group but I can't get in the group without registering so I am very confused and this seems way too complicated. How do I get to see posts in a group (Friendica support/tips/etc.)? How can I register to join these groups?

more questions/ help please
I am now following two groups that are for Facebook refugees. Both of these groups allow me to follow them, but I cannot see the content of the actual group because they are restricted for "unknown users". How can I see the actual content of these groups? Can anyone help me?

that was very helpful! Thank you! Does that mean that since I am now following these groups that I "should" be able to see new posts, just not the old ones. I appreciate your help here and thank you for the time you took to answer.

No problem, and, yes, I think it should be as you say with new vs old posts in those groups.

change languages that I see
!Friendica Tips. I would like to only see English on my feed. How can I make that happen?

change languages that I see
When I registered, I used a setting that allowed me to see posts in different languages. I cannot find that now and would like to decrease the number of languages that I see. Can someone tell me how to do that? Where to find that setting?

Hm. Try Settings → Display → Channels: Channel languages

I don't think it works if people say they write in English, but in reality writes in some other language, though.

I also saw that kind of "mark the languages you'd like to see" somewhere else ... let's see if I can re-find that ...

Hm. Seems as if that same kind of list is under Settings → Channels → Languages
but, uh, don't know if that makes any difference (for the same reason as the one above)?

okay that didn't work. Thank you for suggesting it. When I go to either of those paths it just shows one language highlighted--the one I want my page to be in. I think you are right that "mark the languages" prompt was somewhere when I set up my account. Again, thank you for trying to help

I've marked several languages (English isn't my first language)
(for PC/Windows: by holding down CTRL while clicking).

... but I've not chosen e.g. russian, and I see posts written in cyrillic,
so I suspect that they haven't changed their setting from the (I suppose) default English,
and then we get to see it.

If you find someone only posting in a language you have no interest in seeing,
go to their profile and "block", or "ignore", them.
That should remove them from your streams.
It's one profile at a time, though, and no idea whether there's a better way to filter out "the language it actually is" as opposed to "the language the user did not change away from". 🙈

searching for groups
I am new on this platform and would like to find groups to join. Groups that share a common interest. How do I do that?
