!New To Friendica

I have got a message that my account has been restricted. How can it be restricted?

!New To Friendica Trying to get my head around the methods for tagging a group: ! (exclamation point) and @ (at-sign). Can anyone explain the difference(s) in behavior between the two, if there are any?

Also: how do Permissions (Public vs Limited/Private) interact with posts to a group? If a group is tagged, can all of the group members see the post, or does the post need to be Public?

!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.

!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.

It seems when adding a YouTube link to a post the summary for the video appears in a different language. Is this a setting I can address or this a server side occurrence? Please see the attached for reference. Anyone else notice this?

For Your Information;

I made a 'test group';
!Test group - Place to do test postings at Friendica

A group where people who like to test can post and mess around. See how this works without doing that somewhere where it could annoy people.

It is a public open group.

There seems to be a fair bit of Finnish and German posts here. Nothing wrong with that.

But I would like to hide those posts.

I have found there instructions about how to do that;
wiki.friendi.ca/docs/network_f…

But that makes use of a function addon that does not seem to be active here.

!New To Friendica I have tried to make some channels. Attached is a screenshot of the settings for an example channel.

Seems as if they should work, but posts only occasionally show up in them. And the few posts that have appeared over the last couple weeks don't seem to have a common element to them, i.e. they are not from any particular instance.

I'm wonder what is going on and whether I can fix it.

It seems like though I've selected the 'don't show any posts' on a profile I'm friends with, every post they reply to shows up on my 'Everybody' channel. I've also unselected them from all the channels.

I think a post from a friend only appeared in my feed 3 days after it was originally posted. Also, I sent some test messages to my Mastodon account and they took four days to go through.

I'm also new to Friendica (although I've had a Friendica server for years, I rarely used it). I see a lot of people signing up, so if you have any questions or need help, post them to this group.

Hi, is it possible to see which groups exist or at least search for them with a keyword? If I wanted to start a group how would I go about it?
