The jobs are being processed faster, now doing 120k jobs per day. There are 78k jobs remaining.
There were around 150k jobs for Jan 11th, it's almost through those. After that, there are only 4k jobs per day on average, meaning it will start processing a day every hour. I estimate it will start doing that around 1 or 2 pm CET today, so expect a lot of notifications start coming in after that. It should be all up-to-date around midnight (CET).
My plan is to do "clean-up, for moving" from 1 february, and then "close-up" on 1 mars, over on Facebook, with the clean-up part including introducing those who are willing to the federated part of online social interactions (and yes, I had notifications from a week back waiting for me here π ).
@RaccoonForFriendica We finally did it: we got access to the production channel on Google Play! A big and heartfelt "thank you" to all those who participated in the closed test program, without you this would have been impossible! π¦β€οΈ
The latest beta has been promoted to the "open testing" track, so that now everyone can become a tester and install the latest beta, which is a preview of the next stable release.
I'll wait until I improve notification support, so probably there is another month or so to wait. Keep an eye on the issue tracker to know what I'm working on, just in case π
Your feedback is important, and now you'll have Google Play's reviews as an additional way to express your opinion. Let me know what you think and always #livefasteattrash
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.
I haven't heard back on the GitHub issue for a few days now. Not sure we'll be able to get the process tuned to get more jobs done any time soon. Meanwhile, it seems the speed has improved a bit without any changes, no idea why. It's now doing a bit over 70000 jobs per day. The queue currently is at 370000, which means somewhere this weekend it should be caught up.
Then we can carefully try to re-enable some features that we disabled, like the Bluesky bridge, and contacts discovery etc.

I had set this server up a while ago, but with the recent FB drama, we see a lot of new users registering. Almost a thousand, and counting!
Let's first introduce myself, I am Ruud, a database admin from The Netherlands who as a hobby hosts Fediverse instances like mastodon.world, lemmy.world and a lot of others. Together with @stux⚡ I founded a non-profit foundation for owning our instances: fedihosting.foundation.
The Friendica.World server isn't 100% ready, there's still some tweaking and polishing needed. For example we need to add a ToS and rules. They will be the same as on mastodon.wor

Also, we are still trying to resolve an issue where the jobs aren't being processed as quickly as we would like. We've opened an issue with the Friendica developers: github.com/friendica/friendica⦠Currently there are 612000 jobs still pending and daily this gets down by 39000 jobs, so after 16 days it should be at 0 and everything should be instantaneous. We're hoping we can somehow speed this up. Result of this issue is that things are lagging behind, like federation to other servers (mastodon, other friendica's etc), notifications etc.
Friendica tutorial Pt 1 of 6: Explaining Friendica/Facebook comparisons and how to join. Ver 2023.12
Since the internet was severely lacking it, This is a comprehensive tutorial on how you can do pretty much anything in friendica that you can on facebook. This episode covers how how to join friendica, how to customize your profile, how to make a post, and join a group. PS this is an atheist/liberal/leftish channel and my opinions and beliefs are not that of the friendica organization, so please do not let any of the examples I use have any impact on whether or not you decide to use the site.

It seems that there is a lot of background work going on. I'll have to follow this to see if it will be resolved, or if we would need more resources. Some updates may be delayed.
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.
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/friendicaβ¦
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?
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.
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/friendicaβ¦)
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
We have an issue with the worker not going through the jobs fast enough, causing the instance to lag behind. I'll create a ticket with Friendica and try to resolve this ASAP.
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.
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.
I did some tweaking of the database settings. I also want to scale up the server, but Hetzner has some capacity problems so currently higher plans are unavailable.. I'll keep an eye on that.
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.
Problem: There is no easy way to add image alt text for accessibility Suggestion: When a user has provided a string in the Image Caption field, automatically add it as alt text in the img tag. Manu...
@ruud Friendica uses BBCode internally, although it does support Markdown as well (it is parsed as BBCode, so that's what you will see when editing your posts).
The syntax indeed is [img=link/to/image (it will be an internal link if you upload the image straight to your friendica instance)]alt-text[/img].
Thanks! Not sure if I'll stick around, I was mostly just excited to try it out after reading this blog post the other day blog.elenarossini.com/the-futuβ¦
