Hallo #fediverse #poweruser, @helpers
Welche Möglichkeiten gibt es, im Fediverse mehrsprachig aufzutreten?
Kann man bei #zweisprachig-en Schreibern #Sprachen ausfiltern?
Das #Übersetzungstool der App ist nicht so gut.
Ich würde gerne mehr Leuten folgen, die Muttersprschenbeiträge, wenn ich sie nicht verstehe aber direkt ausblenden.
Ich weiss such, dass ich die Sprache des Posts markieren kann, aber wie ist das zu filtern?
@Friendica Support
Gibt es eine gute und aktuelle Installationsanleitung für Friendica in englischer Sprache? Frage für einen Freund, der mit den Anweisungen auf der Projektseite unglücklich ist. Danke!
Is there a comprehensive and up-to-date installation guide for Friendica in english available? Asking for a friend who is unhappy with the instructions on the project page. Thanks!

Moin @Friendica Support ,
nachdem sich die Größe meiner Datenbank über Monate und Jahre hinweg im Bereich um die 2,5Gb bewegt hat, bekomme ich gerade eine Nachricht vom Uberspace, dass sie nun plötzlich auf 9Gb angewachsen ist.
Worin kann die Ursache liegen? Was ich in den vergangenen Wochen geändert habe ist
1. Ein Update auf die aktuelle Stable-Version
2. Die Aktivierung des BlueSky-Addons, von dort kommen eine Hand voll Follower, die es hier nicht gibt.
Einstellungen, beispielsweise bezüglich des Chaching von Profilbildern (=Deaktiviert) habe ich nicht verändet.
Uberspace empfiehlt den Versuch einer Freigabe ungenutzen Datenbankspeichers mittels
mysqlcheck --optimize --all-databases
Kann ich das gefahrlos tun und was kann ich noch tun?
Avatare werden schon lange nicht mehr gecached, aber danke für den Hinweis.
Der Optimierungslauf zeigte zwar gefühlt bei allen Tabellen
"Table does not support optimize, doing recreate + analyze instead",
aber die Größe der Datenbank hat sich trotzem von ca. 8Gb auf nun ca, 4Gb halbiert. Das ist wohl Magie.
Ich hätte erwartet, dass so eine Datenbank-Optimierung regelmäßig von selbst ausgeführt wird, wenn die entsprechende Option in den Admin-Settings gesetzt ist?
Habe vorhin in einer anderen Support-Anfrage gelesen, dass Bluesky offenbar einiges an Worker-Jobs produziert. Das wird die Datenbank sicher wachsen lassen und auch bei mir die Ursache sein.
Bluesky = tons of job in the worker queue
Hello there !Friendica SupportFIY I have enabled the Bluesky plugin to help Hank (from Relatica) diagnose some issue.
The plugin is working pretty well on 2024.12, almost too well: just a word of caution, on low end systems you may have thousands jobs piling in the worker queue.
Bluesky timeline is very chatty... also, not realtime. They do a pretty good job at showing you what look like real time interaction, the propagation delay is more like in the couple of minutes range 🤔
Bye!

DE: Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, sich alle Beiträge anzeigen zu lassen, die man entweder geliked, geboostet oder kommentiert hat? Ich hatte schon öfter das Problem, dass ich einen Beitrag später wiederfinden wollte, den ich entweder kommentiert oder nur geliked hatte. Bisher habe ich aber keine Funktion gefunden, die mir eine Übersicht über meine Likes oder Kommentare bietet – außer der manuellen Suche. In meiner Home-Timeline sehe ich nur meine eigenen Beiträge und geteilte Inhalte. Übersehe ich da etwas?
EN: Is there a way to view all posts that I have liked, boosted, or commented on? I've often found myself wanting to revisit a post I had either commented on or simply liked, but I haven't found any feature that provides an overview of my likes or comments—aside from manually searching for them. In my home timeline, I can only see my own posts and shared content. Am I missing something?
Danke für die schnelle Antwort!
Eben nicht oder ich bin zu doof 😁
Dort sehe ich nur eigene und geteilte Beiträge. Jedoch nicht meine Likes auf Beiträge oder Kommentare zu Beiträge wenn ich die Beiträge selbst nicht geteilt habe
Du meinst doch

Ist das denn "Elitewissen" oder war ich nur zu unaufmerksam dies über einen UI Knopf zu finden? 😉

Problems with embedded videos in posts
Hello @Friendica Support
Why when I create a post and embed a video (I upload the video to my friendica storage) I always find it at the bottom of the page? I'll give you an example , I create the post like this
ABCabcAbcABC....I write something..... then I embed some videos from youtube like this,
and finally I insert the hashtags
I click on preview and everything is perfect , when I click on share, I publish my post, and I find the attachment of the video that I inserted at the end after the hashtags
What kind of formatting should I use? I've tried various combinations, I normally write my posts in Joplin notes, then I copy and paste. But I created this post directly "Create new Post" but nothing changes
original post
@Friendica Support @Friendica Admins
Moin Leute, kann mir mal einer sagen, was hier wieder los ist ? Was analysiert die Friendica Directory nur wieder ? Oder besser nicht ?
Gestern stand das noch auf "95" ganz vorne dran.
Leider wird der Grund der Änderung unbekannt bleiben, bis git.friendi.ca/friendica/frien… umgesetzt ist.
Die Zahlen werden nicht nach Zufall generiert. Aber wenn der Grund für die Änderung nicht dokumentiert wird, ist das klarerweise suboptimal.

Hallo @Friendica Support, ich habe einen User auf meiner Instanz in einem Beitrag der nur an meine Kontakte ging (also privat) mit einem @ erwähnt. Dieser Beitrag wurde auch veröffentlicht und den Kontakten angezeigt.
Es gibt allerdings eine Ausnahme: Der User, der in dem Beitrag mit @ erwähnt wurde, wurde nicht über eine Benachrichtigung benachrichtigt und der Beitrag selber wird ihm auch nicht in seiner Timeline angezeigt.
Es handelt sich um diesen Beitrag: anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1…

In this upgrade I made the mistake to initialize bin/composer.phar install --no-dev as root but aborted that intent, changed to www-data and applied bin/composer.phar install --no-dev again.
Command applied now to asure that all folders will be owned by www-data.chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
Ownership, www-data and root related conversation from last year when the instalation was migrated to this VPS:

Implications of access by the user www-data to all friendica folders
Hi there,
the friendica helpers page describes the installation process of friendica as follows:/help/Install: wrote:
The Linux commands to clone the repository into a directory "mywebsite" would begit clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica.git -b stable mywebsite cd mywebsitebin/composer.phar install --no-devMake sure the folder view/smarty3 exists and is writable by the webserver user, in this case www-data
mkdir -p view/smarty3 chown www-data:www-data view/smarty3 chmod 775 view/smarty3Get the addons by going into your website folder.
cd mywebsite
Clone the addon repository (separately):
git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git -b stable addon
askubuntu.com: wrote:
What is the www-data user?
askubuntu.com/questions/873839…
The web server has to be run under a specific user. That user must exist.If it were run under root, then all the files would have to be accessible by root and the user would need to be root to access the files. With root being the owner, a compromised web server would have access to your entire system. By specifying a specific ID a compromised web server would only have full access to its files and not the entire server.
I guess this observation goes both ways, a compromised friendica instalation get's access to all the friendica folders if I choose to first create/activate the www-data user, than create the friendica installation folder structure, than git clone friendica, than create the smarty3 folder and ultimately do the git clone of the addon folder as described here:
tupambae.org/display/0ac89072-…
The order in which the creation of www-data related folders in the above case is described makes all folders and files in the friendica directory belong to www-data.
In the friendica help description first comes the git-clone, than the the smarty3 folder part than the addon git-clone. Actually I guess that last part would make the addon folder belong to www-data too if I run one command after another. Is that intended?I wonder if this could have some kind of security implications.
I guess www-data is somehow the friendica site and has permissions to do "what ever it wants" (-> "writable by the webserver user") with all the folders in the friendica directories if it's the owner of them.

Save to folder function broken or my Browser?
@Friendica Developers @Friendica Support
Does "Save to folder" function work for you on the current stable and dev?
When ever I enter a folder and confirm, the browser (Firefox) freezes until I refresh it. The browser asks on refresh if I really want to leave the site since it is still processing.
After the manual refresh, the site is correctly saved.
Background: I was diving in the Code to adjust the color for the "save to folder" dialog, which is actually colorbox. Are we interested to make it a modal like the compose window?
I already fixed the color appearance, but am reluctant to create a PR on a may be faulty feature in general.
PS: I am so grateful for the dev container for friendica, it simplifies the dev process at leat for ui tremendously! ❤
@Der Marek The feature works for me, I've fixed the awkward UX recently on develop: github.com/friendica/friendica…
Improving the display would be welcome, by using the regular modal window instead of the the colorbox for example.
Ahh okay, thank your very much! I pulled your PR and now the save works like a charm.
On the other hand, the background color is not fixed for frio dark / black.
I created an issue on github, elaborating my assumption for the cause for better discussion:
@Friendica Support Why is it (bug or feature 
) that I frequently have a difference in the number of comments indicated by the symbol and the text version:
The bubble symbol tells me 46 comments, but the expand text "116 comments". I would expect the same numbers here just like it is the case for reshared count?
I first thought my instance would not know the other comments, but since the higher number is the total amount of actual comments which are SHOWN, this theory seems wrong

Not sure if the following has been part of information and discussion around here.
Apparently there are several Nostr relays that bridge, with or without asking for permission, profiles to somewhere else.
In this link there is a csv file with known servers that can be importet into the server blocking list:
codeberg.org/Luukanikos/fedibl…
#fediAdmin
Actually at least over here I also could create a positive list, restricting access to only predefined instances.
That said, the "asking for permission" is if some instance simply mirrors profiles "without asking for permission" each profile or instance it pretends to mirror or duplicate. This in any case is basically about good manners, not technical possibilities.
I didn't dig into some apparent nostr discussion itself but saw the possibility to register a profile for mirroring it. Well, actually the only way this could happen in a correct respectful manner is that a profile follows an account that than interpretates that following as a request or permission to be mirrored.
Not interested in supporting bluesky or disrespectful folks in any way so I guess this list comes kinda preemptive handy.

Hi there,
testing around with the software #castopod, developed by @Castopod :podcasting2: .
In general terms federation with #friendica works, even integration into public forum pages and reshare by those when the castopod profile is followed by the forum page in the first place, as tested with the forum page @podCasts. As of now following from castopod profiles apparently isn't implemented. Also as of now we didn't manage to get the cron job to work at that new instalation on a shared hosting.
What is strange is that a podcast episode publication doesn't embeed the audio player so it can't be reproduced inside the post shown over here on friendica. On mastodon this works, the post displayes a video like screen and reproduces the audio file.
Not sure if this is a specific issue of this friendica instance as it is stil 2023.05 or if this is something the latest versions experience to.
The uploaded audio file was in the format m4a.
This is the link to the original post:
cast.tupambae.com/@bitPickup/p…
Link to a mastodon instance where the post can be seen:
troet.cafe/@bitpickup/11387501…
Link to this site here where the audio is not displayed but only a link:
tupambae.org/display/db58d9ad-…
@utopiArte @Castopod :podcasting2:
The post from castopod is encoded as a "Note" ActivityStream object:

"to": [
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Public"
],
"type": "Note"
}there is no indication of something that should be played, there is only the link in the text content.
Now, mastodon get the first link it find in post and try tho show a preview, I think using OpenGraph.
Friendica sometimes does it also, I don't know the details and I don't know why it doesn't show a preview for this. I'm pretty sure that it will not show a player anyway.
The point is: there is nothing in that Note object which says "it's a podcast". It's just a note that an episode is published, with a link to it. The fact that mastodon show the player is unrelated from the fact that the note links to a podcast. I'm sure the fact the link is the first thing in the note is a deliberated choice by castopod devs, to take advantage of Mastodon's behavior
I had expected that this would be some kind of activityPub convention of transmitting information about if a video or audio format is part of the content.
Yes there is: attachment property. But then Friendica will shows attachments as icons at the end of the post. Still without a player.
Castopod devs chose to create their ActivityStream object of type 'PodcastEpisode', which you can get requesting the AS version of the episode page

}
}But this is not a standard object, and Friendica (and I think many other services) does not know how to display it, failing back to render the "content", losing the link to the audio file.
A note with a link is a reasonable way to post something understandable by everyone.
@Castopod :podcasting2: @utopiArte Mh, quick correction. if the link to the audio file is in an "attachment" property, friendica will show the player. Just as in this post
But from a semantic prospective (acting like I know what it means), the audio file is not attached to the note, but to the episode.

@Gerhard Hallstein was meinst du mit Spitznamen ???
Wenn du damit den Spitznamen deines Accounts meinst dann liegt es daran, das der Spitzname nicht geändert werden kann/darf.
Spitzname/NicknameDer Spitzname wird benötigt, um eine Webadresse (Profiladresse) für viele Deiner persönlichen Seiten zu erstellen. Auch wird dieser wie eine Email-Adresse genutzt, wenn eine Verbindung zu anderen Personen hergestellt werden soll. Durch die Art, wie der Spitzname genutzt wird, gibt es bestimmte Einschränkungen:
er muss mit einem Buchstaben beginnen er darf nur US-ASCII-Textzeichen und Nummern enthalten er muss einzigartig auf diesem Friendica-Knoten sein er kann später nicht mehr geändert werden
Dieser Spitzname wird an vielen Stellen genutzt, um Deinen Account zu identifizieren, daher ist es nicht möglich ihn später zu ändern.
@Gerhard Hallstein ok jetzt habe ich mich mal etwas reingefuchst und auch deine Unterhaltung mit Tuxi ganz gelesen.
Es könnt daran liegen das der Account seine Infos aus dem RSS Feed bezieht und das jedes mal wieder neue wenn ihr den Feed abruft und in dem Feed ist eben auch der Name enthalten und den übernimmt er jedes Mal aufs neue wie es scheint.

Hallo Friendica Profis,
ich bin aktuell am überlegen, meine lokale Instanz auf einen kleinen VPS umzuziehen. Deswegen bringe ich mich momentan auf den aktuellen Stand der Dinge, was die Installation eines LAMP-Servers und die Installation von Friendica betrifft. Beim rumstöbern bin ich auf eine aktuelle Anleitung gestoßen, wie man Friendica installiert.
Dazu hätte ich zwei Fragen:
- Unterscheidet sich die Installation auf einem Raspi zu einer auf einem VPS?
- Würdet ihr die Installationsanleitung so durchführen oder würdet ihr was anders machen?
- Was würdet ihr generell am System optimieren bzgl. Friendica und dem System selber?
Den Artikel zu der Anleitung findet ihr hier: blogzwo.me/raspberry-pi/friend…
Über Feedback sowie Tipps&Tricks würde ich mich freuen.
In der Docker-Variante muß man nicht einmal das machen. Und man muß auch nicht wissen, ob und wann eine neue Version erschienen ist. Man kann ganz einfach sterben und die Instanz läuft immer aktuell weiter.
Gut, das mit dem Sterben sollte man hinauszögern.
Friendica Installation
Ich versuche gerade die #Fediverse Anwendung #Friendica auf meinem #Raspberry Pi 5 in einem #Podman #Container zu installieren. Aber bei der Datenbank ist Schluss. da bleibt es hängen. Weiß jemand Rat? @Friendica Support zum Beispiel?

Friendica beginner help megathread
Hello, everyone! As we know what Zuck's place is going through, I decided to create a post with all the resources I found online all these years I've been on this place, in a bid to help more people board. Here we go:
List of guides/presentations/quick start
- @anubis2814's excelent guides for Friendica. Available as a playlist on YouTube:
or on Peertube:
peertube.stream/w/p/4K4MWYXMEY…
(6 videos) - The Future of Social is Here: a Show and Tell (part 3: Friendica) by @Elena Rossini ⁂
- The Beginner’s guide to Friendica by @Tio
- no less important, The Friendica Wiki also available under the help section of your instance (click on your pic and name on the top-right where you're logged in -> help)
- The @Friendica Support group for any questions or issues (yes, I intended to post this here).
All of these should be more comprehensive than this guide.
Short Q&A with the most common problems
How do I post stuff?
Easy, on your profile, click the button in the top right that looks like this:
A pop-up window will open, and you can type anything. Make sure to set the appropriate permissions by clicking the tab at the top. If you want your post to be public then choose public, if you don't, select limited/private and add the exceptions or add who can see it. Make sure you properly select these permissions, because you cannot change them later. If you format your post (see below), you can also check the preview pane to see how your post will look. This also applies for comments.
How to format my text?
Friendica uses BBCodes for text formatting like bold text, italic text, underlined text and many others. You can find more example on the usage of it in the Wiki or under https://your-instance-address/help/bbcode. You don't have to style your text, but you can do some nice stuff with it. You can also get suggestions for formatting by typing [ and selecting an option from the drop-down menu, or typing out your option to narrow your search. But do check the wiki, though. Generally, BBCode looks like [option]your-text-here[/option].
If there is any text where you don't want to add any tags on by accident, slide it between these tags: [noparse][/noparse].
How to upload an image (and how to add alt-text to it)
Just drag&drop it into the composing page. Simple. Easy. No frills.
Also, to note is that you can also re-use an image you previously uploaded if you go to the Browser tab in the compose window.
Finally, you can link to any image you find online, without downloading&reuploading it in the 1st place. Right-click an image, click "copy image link", then go to your post and type [img]paste-your image-link-here[/img] (of course, you paste your image link instead, between the img tags). This is generally how images are displayed via BBCode.
I personally use an external site to host my media and link it this way, whenever there is something I want on the internet for as long as possible in order to save some space on my instance. I mostly use postimages.org, but I also used
Meta and now also Reddit like to change the URL string to the media posted on their platforms, so don't rely on these if you want your post to still stay relevant after a few days.
You can also add Alt-Text to your image if, instead, you type [img=your_image_url]Your Alt-Text here[/img]. Alt-Text is generally an image description that is displayed when the image fails to load/before loading, and is useful to visually impaired people using screen reading software which can read this out loud. The latter is the reason why it is highly recommended by many people all across the Fediverse (not just on Friendica).
How to upload a video or other media
Just like you do with an image. However, the video will be posted under Browser, and then the "Files" icon:
Select your file, and it will be posted with an tag.
However, there's currently no user facing way to delete these as yet, so feel free to upload them on any other external service and share the direct link to the audio/video if you care about this.
You can use the tags [audio]your-link-to-the-audio[/audio] and [video]your-link-to-the-video[/video] for that.
How do I make a poll/vote at polls
Polls are currently supported by a few Fediverse platforms, but not by Friendica fully, right now (you can see them, but you cannot vote on them and create them).
You can again use an external service for creating polls, such as poll-maker or Strawpoll.
How to post to a group
Groups on Friendica, as well as any other ActivityPub platform, are generally just some special accounts that automatically boost/reshare whatever post you added while tagging them. Therefore, just create a regular post and tag them with the ! or @ signs (one of these tags should suffice). The former one creates a post that is visible on the group but unlisted wherever else (i.e. in a public feed). The latter takes account of your permission settings. You will see how you can find groups somewhere below.
How to find various people
There are multiple ways; One is to use any of the established lists:
- Fedi.db's list
- Most followed Mastodon accounts by Stefan Hayden
- Fliboard federated accounts (for news organizations on Flipboard who enabled AP integration) [Google Sheet spreadsheet]
- [Public] Popular/famous/notable Mastodon accounts (also available as a website) [Google Sheet spreadsheet]
- The Friendica directory (only for people on Friendica)
- Follow @FediFollows for suggestion
You can also go to Settings>Profile>Miscellaneous and scroll all the way down to add some tags to the profile. Then, you can also go to Contacts and choose "similar interests" in the left pane, get friend suggestions or a random profile.
Finally, you can also add yourself into the aforementioned Friendica Directory or to your server's one by going to Settings>Account>Security and Privacy Settings and check any of these two options:
This way anyone can find you according to your interests.
Finally, you can also follow hashtags to get posts from people that also share your interests directly in your feed, and then follow them from there.
If you want to have more privacy, you can check the following box below:
This limits the visibility of your content to only instances that are made aware of it, and people that have access to it based on your privacy settings. Unlogged users will not be allowed to find you.
How do I find groups?
Same as with regular people. There are multiple lists:
- Friendica Directory (for groups that are on Friendica).
- Check the list of @Fedi.Tips available here.
- Lemmyverse (For Communities on Lemmy - a decentralized Lemmy alternative - be wary of this though)
- Check out the servers of other Fediverse software like Mbin or Piefed. These are more forum-like platforms, centered around communities. Generally, each of these communities has a Fediverse address. Copy that, paste it in the search bar, and you should be able to find it. If it doesn't work the 1st time, try a few more times. If it still doesn't work, look whether the server is not on the banned list by accessing
your-server-address/friendica, and/or contact your admin for clarification.
How do I use the search? Is it any useful beyond just searching for people and groups and other accounts?
Yes. Check the Wiki for more information.
Are there any mobile apps?
Yes there are. From my personal experience, Raccoon for Friendica gave me the best results. Relatica is also a great option, as well as Fedilab (the latter is more of a Mastodon client, but you can disable the display of reply in the feeds and enable BBCode - fiddle out in the settings). There are other apps for various platforms as well. If you don't find any of them fitting, you can just access your Friendica server in your browser (e.g. friendica.world, nerdica.net etc.). It's very responsive and easy to use.
I hope this Q&A covers the most common aspects of using Friendica
Bonus: Text colors
One aspect that hasn't really been touched on in the wiki is the colors. You can have text in any color if you type the text like this[color=color_name_or_value]your text here[/color].

in reply to OMG 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 • • •@Pascal_F 🇪🇺 spannende Frage.
In Friendica kann man zumindest in der Inhaltseinstellungen der kanäle Sprachen selektieren, die einem so gezeigt werden (siehe Screenshot) .
Dannn hilft natürlich Accounts in den entsprechenden Sprachen zu folgen und auf der Sprache reagieren.
OMG 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

Danke für die Rückmeldung.
Tatsächlich nutze ich das auf dem Friendica-Account. Das funktioniert aber nur auf der Webseite, hab zwei Apps aufprobiert, die die Filter nicht übernehmen.
Da hab ich einen Europakanal. Ungünstig ist, wenn dann jeder zweite Beitrag in Landessprache ist.
Für mein Profil war der Workaround einen nur englischen Account. Mit Multiaccount-App geht das. Aber bläht eben das fedi auf und nicht jederleut Geschmack 2+ Accounts zu pflegen.
English ist für mich persönlich am einfachsten News von Portugal bis Lettland zu folgen.
Das finde ich bei den Magazinen auch schade, das viele nur in Landessprache berichten.
Da schwebt mir sowas wie Arte vor, Zweikanal. Wenn ich Franze auffrische, wechsle ich die Tonspur.

Das wundert mich. Ich stecke jetzt nicht sooo tief in der technischen Funktionsweise von Friendica, aber dachte eigentlich, dass die TL nicht durch den client beeinflusst werden (egal ob Du den Browser oder Apps nutz sollte bei gleichen accountvoreinstellungen die TL die gleichen Inhalte abbilden).
hast Du mal in die @Friendica Support Gruppe gefragt, wie man wohl am besten eine mehrssprachige Timeline pflegt?
Zu den Apps und Friendica: viele Friendicaner nutzen ja das Fedi via Browseroberfläche, weil die üblichen Apps eben viele der großartigen Funktionen von Friendica leider nicht abbilden Isie sind ja meist auf Mastodon optimiert). Ich war früher als ich noch pleroma, vorher masto nutzte auch sehr auf die Apps fixiert, inzwischen nutze ich Friendica sehr gerne in der Browseroberfläche. Weiß gar nicht mehr was konkret der Vorteil einer App sein soll…

in reply to OMG 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 • • •Die auf Friendica spezialisierte App Relatica bringt in der aktuellen Version 0.15 ein Circles-Management mit und scheint auch den jeweils ausgewählten Circle anzeigen zu können.
