Bluesky addon disabled temporarily
Due to the ongoing backlog in worker jobs, I've disabled the Bluesky addon. This generated a lot of extra jobs, and I want to focus on getting the queue empty and the worker issue fixed before enabling it again.
Sorry about that.

I gave Friendica a FB facelift with a user stylesheet in my browser. So now, at least for me, it has a more modern, familiar appearance.
Here's an example of the Home Feed:
And an example of the Global Feed:
This is pretty easy to do if you're using Firefox and a user content stylesheet. But you could also use the Stylus Add-On to do it. There is also a Stylus Extension for Chrome (and other Chromium-based browsers).
For Safari there is the Userscripts Extension in the App Store, which can also do user stylesheets.
Friendica needs Settings > Display > Theme set to the "Frio" theme.
Under Settings > Display > Theme Customization it needs to either be set to "Lite" or to "Custom" ("Dark" nor "Black" will not work).
If you set it to "Custom" you need to "Save" it first to see the options. Then you can copy+paste my "schemestring" into the box and "Save" again. Even if you don't apply the user styles that will get you a newer FB color scheme.
I haven't looked at any of the documentation for Friendica themes. I have no idea if my stylesheet could be adapted to a "Frio" variant/scheme. If anyone else who knows more about it wants to try feel free to do so. But even if it can the server admin would still have to make it an option. This way you can apply it yourself.
I'll try to add links to the stylesheet files in the comments, though this is my first time using Friendica's file attachment features.

So I finally saw some posts with "Events" so I could see how that worked. It didn't look so good:
So I restyled this with arguably the most convoluted bit of CSS that I've ever written so it conditionally adds space for a second horizontal row of buttons and then puts the buttons in that row like this:
I edited the action button and dark mode stuff above with the change. The line that makes the magic happen is this one:
.vote-event:not(:has(.wall-item-response:empty)){...}
Now that is some freaking alchemy!
But the .vote-event container itself is NEVER empty. It ALWAYS has three boxes in it. So I needed a way to check if the container has empty boxes in it, and if it doesn't then add space for a second row of response buttons. Such fun when you have no control over the document's structure. 😜

Some issues still with Friendica.World
There still are some issues with Friendica.World (but we're working on it...)
First and foremost, the worker, which is executing the jobs (which do everything ) can't keep up. This is being addressed in github.com/friendica/friendica…
Then, image uploads don't work for large images (over 5MB?), while the settings have a max of 200MB defined (and php.ini has 500MB)
Lastly (for now), the backup locks the database. We need to test to use options to skip the locking of tables.
If there are any other issues you notice, let us know!

@ruud Is Friendica set to the 200MB limit? When trying to upload an image in the image section of my profile, I get an error message shown, where 'nginx ' is printed below the actual image error message. This doesn't look like a PHP error message to me. I haven't ever used nginx, though.
A quick search reveals that nginx has a client_max_body_size parameter to limit the size of uploads. The default is 1MB. Could this be the problem?
I have posted this with Tusky.

@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!
Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.
I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.
Happy New Year and remember to #livefasteatrash

Sorry for the downtime and delays last few days
I am still trying to get the jobs being processed faster. It looks like something is wrong with that, I've opened a ticket at Friendica's Github about it (github.com/friendica/friendica…)
While trying to troubleshoot/tune, I managed to get the site broken a few times.
Also, our hoster Hetzner had an issue today causing the server to go down.
Hopefully the downtime will be minimal from now on. Also I scaled up the server significantly. Now we just need a solution for the worker not working as it should (see beforementioned issue on Github) I hope you'll be patient

Worker issue causing Friendica.World to lag behind
I'll create a ticket with Friendica and try to resolve this ASAP.

Trying to tune Friendica...
So far just managed to break the site...
Blocking
Hmm how can I block an account so I don't see their posts in the local and global timelines anymore?
Some people post stuff that I don't agree with, but as long as it's not against the server rules (ahh, I still need to write those down...) I won't delete the account from the server.
Bluesky addon
I have enabled the Bluesky addon on Friendica.world
I have tested (connected this account to @friendicaworld.bsky.social) which seems to work. My posts arrive on Bluesky.
So far, I have 2 findings:
- I couldn't yet get it to work when using a self-hosted PDS (I host bskysocial.world)
- I also couldn't get the friendica.world domain to work yet.
I see that it tries to go to ruud.friendica.world/.well-kno… so I enabled wildcard subdomains. That worked, but now there's no content in .well-known/atproto-did so I need to figure out how to get that there.
To be continued...
Friendica.World performance

I saw that the Friendica instance was getting a backlog of worker jobs. So I have tuned the worker settings, now it seems to be catching up. It's at job 8730 of 23500.
I might tune it some more later, and scale up the server if needed.

This is a test post with a picture of our puppy. I don't see an option to provide alt-text for the image though?
but the editor does have markdown!

@Ruud This is what I learned in three years of Friendica. I hope it can be useful to you
(this also needs to be translated from Italian)

E-mail and backups
Important things that need to be configured are e-mail and backups.
E-mail configured
E-mail is configured. (Hmm, can I require e-mail validations upon signup??)
