friendica.world
@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
To try the app, you can become a tester using this invitation link.
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've opened a second issue for help on enabling the mail connector: github.com/friendica/friendicaβ¦
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.
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?
I have posted this with Tusky.
@RaccoonForFriendica new version 0.4.0-beta04Β 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

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
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.
To be continued...
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)
