@Friend Icare #Friendica is using external media (like youtube) directly and does not "proxify" them. For YT videos there is or was an addon for redirecting it to an #Invidious instance. Since Google started blocking such instances, there are only a few working left. My favorite is https://inv.nadeko.net . So your administrator needs configure it unless not yet done.
For the other external references, I have no idea, just block 3rd-party cookies, I guess.

[strong]Frage: Gibt es die Möglichkeit Beiträge von Accounts denen ich folge automatisch weiterzusagen?[/strong]
Ich hatte in Erinnerung das es so was gibt oder gab, bin mir aber alles andere als sicher. Das wäre sehr gut um die Beiträge von Menschen, Gruppen und Institutionen z. B. aus einer Stadt zu bündeln.

[strong]Friendica: Welchen Sinn macht die Option Öffentlichen Beiträge für anonymen Besucher zu sperren?[/strong]
Es gibt bei den Einstellungen folgende Option die es ermöglicht anonymen Besuchern der Webseite den Zugriff auf die öffentlich eingestellten Beiträge zu verweigern.
Für mich persönlich ist das durchaus sinnvoll, da ich meine Beiträge ja fürs Fediverse und nicht für Google und Co. schreibe. Nun stellt sich aber dennoch die Sinnfrage, wenn ca. 80 Prozent der eigenen Kontakte eine Plattform (Mastodon) nutzen die die Beiträge nicht korrekt darstellen und den ursprünglichen Beitrag auch nicht inline laden kann. Deren Nutzer also darauf angewiesen sind anonym über den Server auf der der Beitrag erstellt wurde darauf zuzugreifen.
[strong]Wie geht Ihr damit um? Welche Lösungen habt Ihr dafür gefunden?[/strong]

@Friendica Support Welche #Farbcodes verwendet #Friendica und wo kann ich eine vollständige Liste einsehen? Die grafische #Farbtabelle, die mir bei der Farbvorschau angezeigt wird, ist für mich nicht ausreichend.
[strong]Friendica: Warum sind in den Kommentaren keine Profilbilder von Lemmy Accounts zu sehen?[/strong]
Ja ich weiß das auf Lemmy die Sache mit den Benutzeraccounts etwas anders gehandhabt wird. Aber das Profilbild des Accounts der den Beitrag eingestellt hat sieht man ja auch. Hier ein Beispiel:

Tempo 30, Radwege, Busspuren – Bundesrat bestätigt Verkehrsreform in weiten Teilen
Gute Nachrichten:Caroline Lodemann, Bundesgeschäftsführerin des Allgemeinen Deutschen Fahrrad-Clubs, sagte: «Der Bundesrat hat heute für eine vernünftige und moderne Verkehrspolitik gestimmt, das ist gut so. Jetzt können die Kommunen endlich anfangen, geschützte Radfahrstreifen, Fahrradstraßen und mehr Tempo 30 einzurichten. Das ist für die Verkehrssicherheit insgesamt und den Komfort von Millionen Radfahrerinnen und Radfahrern im ganzen Land immens wichtig.»
Roland Stimpel, Vorstand des Fußgängerverbandes FUSS, sagte: «Endlich können die Städte und Gemeinden jetzt mehr für die Sicherheit der vielen Menschen tun, die vor Ort zu Fuß oder auf dem Rad unterwegs sind.»
Wermutstropfen:Stimpel kritisierte aber einen Änderungsantrag, nach dem Gehwege leichter zu legalen Parkplätzen werden können. Der Bundesrat habe zudem einen wichtigen Grundsatz aus der Reform gestrichen. Dabei gehe es darum, die besondere Schutzbedürftigkeit nichtmotorisierter Verkehrsteilnehmer und Menschen mit Behinderung besonders zu berücksichtigen.
#Friendica people! I think #Bookface is getting close to another release. So let me know if there is anything you've noticed that should be tweaked or fixed for the next major version. If I can, of course. Bookface is just CSS and I can only style what's already there in the "Frio" theme.

Does anybody know how homepage verification with Friendica works? I'm going with this wiki entry.
freifunkh@friendica.me has a homepage in its profile and the homepage has a link to the profile with rel="me" set. These are the results:
Mastodon App even shows a warning, saying there is no verified link.
#Friendica @Friendica Support
freifunkh@friendica.me has a homepage in its profile and the homepage has a link to the profile with rel="me" set. These are the results:
- Opening the profile in a browser without login => homepage URL visible and marked as verified (✔️).
- Opening the profile while being logged into Friendica (different server) => no URL visible.
- Opening the profile while being logged into Mastodon (different server) => no URL visible.
Mastodon App even shows a warning, saying there is no verified link.

Ich habe gerade den "Leitfaden für den Instanz-Betrieb im dezentralen Netzwerk - Datenschutz bei Mastodon" von gefunden.
Dieser gibt neben grundsätzlichen Informationen auf was Instanzbetreiber achten müssen, vor allem auch eine sehr praktische Sammlung an Musterdokumenten unter CC BY-ND 4.0-Lizenz. Ihr könnt es also für euere Instanzen anpassen und nutzen.

Auf einem abstrakten Niveau sind die Anforderungen, die wir beschreiben, auch auf andere Plattformen des Fediverse übertragbar. Dennoch gibt es einige Aspekte, die von der konkreten Plattform und Software-Implementierung abhängen. So sind zum Beispiel die Möglichkeiten, rechtliche Texte einzubinden und anzuzeigen, unterschiedlich.

I moved the #Friendica Wiki to another server. I need some people to test it and see if all works. I will then solve the problems pointed out.
The initial setup was not done by me. It was still on a server with php 7.4 because it did not work with 8.x due to some plugins. I removed those plugins, apparently not maintained since 2014.
I also saw that it loads some js from some CDN, I don't like that either, so tips welcome on that. Maybe there is a plugin that stores such stuff locally?
Also can you suggest a free service to analyze your webpage, show problem, broken links and such?
I saw that the Avatar (only a systemwide standard avatar for all users) is not displayed in my Firefox, but looks fine on Chromium. May be a DNS issue, so local issue only, seems tailscale some how messes up my DNS resolution. But please have a look for any embedded stuff that does not load!
Send me screenshots if you like and/or links to the problem page.

Friendica has a LOT of feeds. Too many really. It's confusing. Overwhelming. Oh, and they're apparently called TIMELINES here. I've been trying to figure out which ones I should be using that are similar to the ones I used on Facebook.
Over on Facebook most people probably never go beyond the very awful "News Feed" which is full of algorithm-driven, AI-generated, and advertising garbage. And the only people, groups, or pages you see there are the ones you regularly interact with. Which is why for years I've been using the other feeds on Facebook, and they're the only thing that actually makes that platform usable IMO. But it's hard to try and figure out what Friendica "Timelines" are the closest corollary to the Facebook ones?
My best guesses are:
What's Hot = News Feed: It's a fire hose of posts from accounts you don't follow that are getting a lot of engagement. However, I have no clue what kinds of interactions or how many get something into this feed. There is also a "Discover" feed that says it's supposed to show "Posts from accounts that you don't follow but might like" and I have no clue how, without an algorithm, it would determine what I might like. Apparently it doesn't or can't because that feed is empty for me.
Latest Activity = All Feed: because it's based on people you're connected to and shows all their latest interactions (Posts, Likes, Shares, and Comments) including on posts by accounts you don't follow.
For You = Friends Feed: which I think is just posts from people listed as "Mutual Friendship" in your Contacts, meaning you are following them, they are following you.
Latest Activity + Circles/Account Types > Groups = Groups Feed: there doesn't appear to a separate Groups feed in Friendica.
Latest Activity + Circles > Interests = Pages Feed: at least I think "Interests" is referring to "Pages" but I'm not sure, and there doesn't appear to be a separate "Interests" feed.
It would be nice if you could filter the "Network" feeds by more than one thing at a time. There is no way to "stack" filters or save that view. Which is too bad because that would be a killer feature akin to Bluesky's custom algorithms!
As for the other "Timelines" in Friendica:
"Latest posts" and "Latest Creation" are obviously because stuff doesn't necessarily arrive on your server at the same time it was sent from another one. Though I'm not sure anything posted to social media is so time-sensitive you'd need these feeds since I assume the same stuff will show up under "Latest Activity."
"Personal" only shows posts that @ mention you. "Sharers of Sharers" sounds like a feed of what you would call "Friends of Friends" on Facebook. It's unclear what puts someone in "Quiet Sharers" though. It sounds like "Mutual Friendships" that just don't post much, but how often is often?
I'm guessing "Starred" means posts I've LIKED? Or does it only mean posts I've actually gone to the "More..." drop-down and selected "Add Star"? Or BOTH?
"Images," "Audio," and "Video" are pretty self-explanatory, I guess if you're here for the photos, podcasts, and TikTokish content. I've also seen on servers that have a lot of add-ons enabled people might have additional feeds for other platforms they are connected to, which are self-explanatory.
"Local Community" and "Global Community" appear to be the same feeds as under the "Community" button in the main navigation. Which is redundant, but okay.
Then I've also seen instructions for new users to go into Settings > Social Networks > General Social Media Settings and change the drop-down to "Any conversation my follows interact with, including likes" or your feeds will be pretty bare.
It's little wonder this confuses people coming from other platforms. It's...a lot.

I run an instance where registrations require admin approval, how do I as administrator import a user's account export from another server into my server?

Hi there @islieb? !
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.
The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:
Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:
It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..
Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal

How does the setting:
The setting
Where does /usr/bin/php actually point to, by whom is ist accessed (www-data?) and is there a way to change the reference it points to (if it is actually a reference inside friendica)?
On this server, in the case of the installed friendica versions 2024.xx we set this to:
This server is being setup to host different sub/domains, including different and older friendica instances (3.4.3/2019.12/2021.01/2021.04). The idea is at least to be able eventually to evolve them step by step to the actual stable or old stable versions of friendica. To achieve that this tutorial was used to be able to manage different php versions on the same VPS. The references for the php versions were taken from this github page.
There for the way the php version used for the different friendica versions is crucial to make things work in the first place.

How does the setting:
'php_path' =>, definable in the /config/local.config.php or by the console via /bin/console config work exactly?The setting
'php_path' => '/usr/bin/php', that actually also shows up in the crontab -e file doesn't exist as an existing folder structure and/or file, at least on this standard ubuntu server installation, but was the original setting of this instance when we ported it from a friendica beta hosting service over here to a single IP VPS server with a single domain. And till now with that setting this instance ran quite well.Where does /usr/bin/php actually point to, by whom is ist accessed (www-data?) and is there a way to change the reference it points to (if it is actually a reference inside friendica)?
On this server, in the case of the installed friendica versions 2024.xx we set this to:
'php_path' => '/etc/php/8.1/fpm/' and for now the display in the admin panel looks quite right:PHP version 8.1.31 php.ini /**/8.1/fpm/php.inireasons for this "help to understand" request

First of all, sorry for my English, I use a translator.
I am using Friendica version 2024.12, database version is 1576/1576 and the post update version is 1550/1550.
I have changed my storage in Friendica from “Database” to “Filesystem”.
I have selected /var/friendica_storage as the path -> drwxr-xr-x 258 www-data www-data 4096 2 Mar 15:49 /var/friendica_storage
This setting was also applied:

It ends with this error message. But the files are present in the /var/friendica_storage folder.
The query in MariaDB shows that the images are still stored in the database:
MariaDB [xxxxxxxxxxxx]> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM photo WHERE data IS NOT NULL;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 137228 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0,419 sec)

+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
| 137246 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0,39 sec)
But probably also in /var/friendica_storage, because this is getting bigger.
So the images are now saved simultaneously in the database AND in the /var/friendica_storage folder, including new images!
I have now tried this process twice and both times the error occurred. I restored my database backup.
What have I done wrong, what can I improve or change?

Hallo Zusammen, ich wollte diesen Sharky Beitrag bei mir in Friendica öffnen indem ich wie gewohnt danach suche. Es geht aber nicht, es kommt immer nur 'no result'. Woran kann das liegen? Der Account selbst lässt sich problemlos öffnen, es gibt dort aber keine Inhalte. Mit einen anderen Account auf einer anderen Friendica Instanz (anonsys.net) geht es problemlos.

[strong]Friendica: Animated GIF wird nicht korrekt angezeigt[/strong]
Das Profilbild von @Thunfischer 🐅 (Mastodon) ist ein animiertes GIF bei dem das dargestellte Gesicht hin und wieder mit einen Auge zwinkert. Auf dem Mastodon Profil funktioniert das auch so. Hier auf Friendica hingegen ist das gelegentliche Zwinkern zu einen Dauerzwinkern geworden. Ich kann mir also nur vorstellen das es an Friendica oder am Browser (Firefox) liegt. Den wenn ich das Bild im Browser einzeln aufrufe, hat es auch das nervöse Dauerzwinkern.
Hat einer von Euch eine Idee woran das liegen könnte?

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
#friendica #support #etc
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

If I get this right, D*'s poll feature can have a max of four questions and multiple choice is not available.
Also notable, in comparison with #mastodon poll's, there is no time limit for the poll.
As mastodon allows editing post's, the poll count is reset if the post text is edited, but not the time span of the poll.
Time span is from 5 minutes up to 7 seven days.

Which timeout is set for worker process to deliver a message to a server? Is there a possibility to set the value?
Reason: Seems this #Friendica instance has to deliver message to a quite slow server - or better to say - communication is quite slow.

What can cause #friendica homepage [strong](My post and conversations)[/strong] to slow down? I set 10 posts per page, some of my posts have 1 or 2 videos embedded, my storage setup is Current [strong]Storage Backend: Filesystem[/strong]
when i click on my home page 🏛️ I notice that my browser takes about 10 seconds to load the post content , sometimes it doesn't even load the Friendica icon , I have to click the refresh button 1 or 2 times,
Before I used to embed videos via #nextcloud, and it worked fine. But then I edited the posts by removing the embedded video from nextcloud and uploading it to friendica and embedding it as an attachment, everything else works very fast . Some suggestions... please

- The page background, seen here on this server as a big center #copyLeftFleur is modifiable.
- The logo kind footer as weel.
- A simple text field for the main header of the page, like in this case [common ground | CC-BY-SA-NC] fits nicely.

all of a sudden my notifier tasks is stuck on the little timer icon, but in the logs it shows done, and I have no errors, im not sure if this a bug, a issue or just a fluke, Friendica 'Interrupted Fern' 2025.02-dev - 1576 what ever is the problem is also preventing my instance/profile from fully federating, I cant get any new posts of my profile in any rss/atom feed reader at all, this just started and I am clueless as to what happened and where to look as there are no errors logged anywhere, and workerqueue shows jobs as done when they are completed, so I am really at a loss, and would like to fix this asap.
here are my current worker settings per admin/site/worker
Maximum load average
20
Maximum system load before delivery and poll processes are deferred - default 20.
Minimal memory
0
Minimal free memory in MB for the worker. Needs access to /proc/meminfo - default 0 (deactivated).
Maximum number of parallel workers
20
On shared hosters set this to 5. On larger systems, values of 20 are great. Default value is 10.
Maximum load for workers
15
Maximum load that causes a cooldown before each worker function call.
Enable fast-lane
When enabled, the fastlane mechanism starts an additional worker if processes with higher priority are blocked by processes of lower priority.
Decoupled receiver
Decouple incoming ActivityPub posts by processing them in the background via a worker process. Only enable this on fast systems.
Worker defer limit
15
Per default the systems tries delivering for 15 times before dropping it.
Worker fetch limit
25
Number of worker tasks that are fetched in a single query. Higher values should increase the performance, too high values will mostly likely decrease it. Only change it, when you know how to measure the performance of your system.
I have dug through every file and the entire database and can not find what is causing this, I can see new posts from other people on other federated instances, I can see my posts, but they are not showing up in my feed reader, indicating they are either not completed tasks or not getting federated, I have been all over this, for hours today and no errors no logs showing any issues at all, yet I clearly have an issue, as you can see the Notifier Task is showing Pending instead of being Checked as done, Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have even tired dropping back to stable, and that still did not work, so I went back to Friendica 'Interrupted Fern' 2025.02-dev - 1576 I really wish I could figure out what is going on, sure would like to have this working as its really my only form of communication with the world
So I updated my php to 8.4.2, but that has not made any difference, and I cant go backwards, as I have something else on the same server that cant go down in versions, I have dug more and more, and have found nothing that is causing this issue, having some kind of idea where to look would be helpful, considering I have done everything imaginable to solve the Notifier Tasks Pending problem of hangging and have yet to find a solution, so I have tried to think outside the box and find a solution that does not include debugging, checking error logs, confirming config files, and assuming the database is correct and healthy, find another way to address this issue, and I am hitting a brick wall.
so now I just did git reset --hard origin/develop, and the problem is still there. :(
I have even created a test user on my instance, and verified it is instance wide.

Number of worker tasks that are fetched in a single query. Higher values should increase the performance, too high values will mostly likely decrease it. Only change it, when you know how to measure the performance of your system.
I have dug through every file and the entire database and can not find what is causing this, I can see new posts from other people on other federated instances, I can see my posts, but they are not showing up in my feed reader, indicating they are either not completed tasks or not getting federated, I have been all over this, for hours today and no errors no logs showing any issues at all, yet I clearly have an issue, as you can see the Notifier Task is showing Pending instead of being Checked as done, Help would be greatly appreciated.
I have even tired dropping back to stable, and that still did not work, so I went back to Friendica 'Interrupted Fern' 2025.02-dev - 1576 I really wish I could figure out what is going on, sure would like to have this working as its really my only form of communication with the world
So I updated my php to 8.4.2, but that has not made any difference, and I cant go backwards, as I have something else on the same server that cant go down in versions, I have dug more and more, and have found nothing that is causing this issue, having some kind of idea where to look would be helpful, considering I have done everything imaginable to solve the Notifier Tasks Pending problem of hangging and have yet to find a solution, so I have tried to think outside the box and find a solution that does not include debugging, checking error logs, confirming config files, and assuming the database is correct and healthy, find another way to address this issue, and I am hitting a brick wall.
so now I just did git reset --hard origin/develop, and the problem is still there. :(
I have even created a test user on my instance, and verified it is instance wide.

Hi there,
is there a way to change locally the profile picture displayed of a contact?
Haven't seen any option to that regard in the contact page.
I'm asking in part specifically because of the #eyeContact issues some people have. It's about the fact that they have real problems facing full face pictures that kinda "look straight at you", actually a known psychological effect not only in primates.
(Just stare consistently at a dog and you'll see. Well actually better you don't, unless you know what you are doing)
At the same time that's probably not the only reason a avatar could be unwanted for someone. So, optional I could think of or a standard feature that disallows the display of a avatar or a feature that allows to replace the avatar picture with something chosen by the user.
🤔

Hi there,
the moment has come to do the first instance upgrade cycle in the life of this instalation to bring this server to the actual stable version 2024.12-1 in the comming days.
In part the idea is to document every step in a post similiar to the howTo instructions:
install and/or move friendica to ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS server
in the @EDIT | don't follow! profile.
Right now we are on 2023.05, so we will have to update step by step to:
2023.12 | release notes
2024.03 | release notes
2024.08 | release notes
2024.12-1 | release notes
Are there any specific recomandations or details to have in mind besides the information expected to be found in every update release instruction?
This is basically a single user instance with round about 14 forum pages with few followers each and a total of 18 profiles with contacts in the activityPub and diaspora community and some RSS subscriptions. No other specific conectors are enabled.
Installed addons/apps:
blockbot, calc, impressum, js_upload, notifyall, nsfw, pageheader, phpmailer, qcomment, rendertime, showmore_dyn, startpage
DB backups amount to ~180MiB and the image file storage folder on ftp around ~400MiB.
Notes:
This instances right now seems to work well.
Sometimes this profile here has some strange hickups like when following up the link of a post from this server in a stream view a message "Not Found |The requested item doesn't exist or has been deleted." Also right now profiles from contacts, for example @ hoergen or @ feb don't show up in the contact list but they are displayed as followed in the profile contact page.

The only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.
If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
¡Copy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!
Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

@Friendica Support
Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.
As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.
This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.
I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.
I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
#fediVerse #tutorial #fediHelp #activityPub
To begin with @Hypolite Petovan, the original idea is to offer for example to projects like @YunoHost :neopossum_box: or @Castopod :podcasting2: a profile on forum.friendi.ca, the same way our very @Friendica Support works.
Most #fediVerse platforms have profiles on their own platform and/or a #mastodon profile, because that's the kinda standard thought and behavior. But actually to me it looks like the #friendica #communityForum page capabilities exceed by far what mastodon or others have to offer. Well, I haven't digged into the fedi clone of reddit to see if that would be an even better option. What is true tho is that forum.friendi.ca is already long standing and our community has gone a long way, so there is in general terms "no single point of failure" like in other projects that depend on one main figure and that's it.
I consider our helpers community experience here, with all the followers of our helpers page getting resend the help requests posted to the forum, chiming in to help out and solve issues, very positive. So this is a proven setup and could help lot's of other projects out here too. Actually I do think that if implemented and adopted, it even could have a positive feed back loop for friendica itself, but that's like something on another page.
So having forum.friendi.ca already up and running, why not support the fediVerse community opening our doors to those who fulfill certain basic community standards?
This server here (tupambae.org) as well is only mend to be a forum server, and of course it's doors are open for any #fediPlatform that likes to have an own forum page over here, yet somehow to me it look's like forum.friendi.ca is the first natural and ideal candidate for something like that.
Of course same goes for a #fediAdmin, #activityPub or #APIdeveloppers community support forum, if that is desired or useful.
Right now in general terms the fedi lives on using some tags or maybe some a.gup.pe addresses, but it's actually us who hold and develop that option for more than a decade now inside the federation itself.
Was that more clarifying

@hypolite?
Gibt es bei #Friendica irgendeine Möglichkeit Beiträge herauszufiltern, die nur einen YouTube Link enthalten und sonst nichts? :thinking face:
