[strong]Friendica | Wie komme ich an den Kommentar?[/strong]
Ich habe in diesem Beitrag laut feddit.org folgenden Kommentar:
Problem ist einzig und allein, dass er mir unter Friendica nicht angezeigt wird. Gerade herausgefunden habe ich das die Beiträge der Gruppe/Community Verkehrswende offenbar auch nicht korrekt hier her federiert werden. Da gibt es also offenbar mehr Probleme als ich ursprünglich dachte.
Wie komme ich an den Kommentar, um darauf reagieren zu können?
Danke für Eure Tipps und Hilfe im Voraus.

- [li] Animate you to check #
[li] Have the easiest way to check out the back end.
If I remember well, #weingaertner-it gives you the option of a monthly rent. So, suppose a 3 month "trail test"of friendica. That would be 15 euro.
How much is an hour of your time worth?
Setting up your own server means at least 8 hours of time, in over all terms. Clicking a weingaertner setup and redirecting your subdomain to them for a testride should be like an hour. If you follow thru with friendica, your personal server setup, profiles and created content wont be a lost effort as you take all of that with the DB onto your existing hosting package.
[li] Support and foster the #fediVerse structure by supporting the weingaertner PYMES
It's a win\speedUp\win strategy ..

Die #Mona App zeigt mir ziemlich bei der Verwendung mit #Friendica oft die Fehler-Meldung an dass der Beitrag nicht gesendet werden konnte, weil die Netzwerkverbindung unterbrochen wurde, ebenso kommt oft eine Fehlermeldung beim faven, dass das „faven“ fehlgeschlagen ist.
Wenn ich mir das jedoch im Web-Browser ansehe wurde die Nachricht versendet und das Faven ist ebenso erfolgt.
Woran könnte das liegen?

Mit dem #Frio #Theme und den Erscheinungsbild #Bookface werden Links und Hashtags erst blau wenn ich auf den Beitrag tippe. Ist das normal?

[strong]Frage | Friendica: Spam vor allen von Diaspora her?[/strong]
Kann es sein das Spam im Fediverse vor allen von Diaspora her kommt? Klar ich hatte das auch schon auf Basis von Mastodon, aber eben nur sehr sehr wenig. Das was Diapora kommt ist wesentlich mehr. Neuestes Beispiel ist der Account

How to shrink your feed
For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks
The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.
Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.

Redundant Engagement Counts?
How would people feel about a future version of Bookface removing the engagement counts from the Action Button? Now that the response info is reduced to an icon and a number the count on the Action Button with the same icon is redundant and makes the UI unnecessarily cluttered.
I know since the beginning of Bookface some people have found the engagement counts on the buttons too "busy" or "distracting" but before I remove them I thought I'd ask how people feel about that?
I don't know if anyone else has noticed it, but sometimes the engagement counts and responses don't agree. I *think* this is because the engagement counts are subtracting your own interactions? So in the screenshot above it's not counting my 2 comments and not counting my "Like" on the buttons, but is counting them in the response totals. Getting rid of the counts on the buttons would eliminate this inconsistency.
Thoughts?

Bookface 1.8 is Here!
Bookface 1.8 has been tested with both the current stable 2024.12 and 2025.7 Release Candidate versions.
The most obvious change you'll probably notice is that the responses below posts and comments now look completely different:
And below an Event Post:
If multiple people engaged with the post in a certain way you no longer have to click the count to see the list, it's a popover that appears on hover (active on touch devices). This is a lot cleaner and more consistent with how these are displayed on other social media platforms.
You'll also notice that the Main Menu missing icons are in place. This is a change that's coming in the next Friendica release anyway, but Bookface lets you have it right now:
Someone specifically asked whether the main navigation buttons could have labels on them:
I didn't turn it on by default, but nav button labels are now coded into Bookface and if you're using CSS variable customization they're easy to turn on:
:root {
--show-navbar-labels: block;
}
The label text is also customizable. Until now the only way to implement such customizations was either for a server admin to manually put them into the header or footer sitewide or for individual users to put them in a user content stylesheet just for your web browser. That's why I'm also releasing a new Friendica addon called "Bookface Custom" that, if your server admin installs it, allows you to customized every one of the Bookface CSS variables to your heart's content.
Get 'em while they're hot:
* Bookface 1.8
* Bookface User Styles 1.8
* Bookface Custom Addon 1.0

Bookface User Styles?
While it's how this whole Bookface project got started, the server-side version has been pretty widely adopted so if nobody is using the user styles anymore I'd really like to stop updating them. They're kind of a pain because by necessity they have to be different from the server-side styles to override everything, and it takes quite a while to test and tweak them so they render with the same appearance as the light and dark server-side versions. Or as close as I can get, since they rely on the underlying "frio" scheme setting.
Again, I'm not talking about the server-side stylesheets, I'm talking about the user content stylesheets.

Atm i have to select all non-English text in such posts, right click, then use Firefox's local translator tool. This works well, but is quite inefficient for threads with many non-English posts.
Meine #Friendica Datenbank hat inzwischen die beträchtliche Größe von ~75 GB. Dabei nimmt die db_gserver Tabelle den meisten Platz ein.
(Wie) kann ich diese im Rahmen halten? Oder muss dass so?
Danke an @Timotheus Pokorra der mir hier schon versuchte zu helfen (OPTIMIZE TABLE macht sie kaum kleiner)

Hello Again!
As that server is down I couldn't just migrate my account, so I've set up a new account here at dillyofapickle.com. If you were friended to me over there you'll need to send me a request here. But I also moved here because @Kevin has embraced my projects for his server and is running newer versions than most other servers I could find. And I kind of need to see it in action for real, not just on my dev server.
I guess for the foreseeable future updates to my Friendica projects will be posted from this account.

How can i hide / suppress / not see any Boosts / Reshares from people whom i follow? In my timeline i only want to see their own original posts, but not all the posts by other people that they have chosen to Boost / Reshare.
This is easy to do in my Mastodon instance, but i'm struggling with it in my Friendica instance.
Thanks.
Crashes across all interfaces, takes forever to load. Maybe, if you collapsed all comments by default, just maybe it wouldn't be crunching so hard. Bluesky integration fails completely. Oh well, seemed perfect for me, in the abstract. I learned quite a lot about the potential. Think I just need to make Mastodon my one stop-shop instead.

#Friendica #Fediverse
#friendica #groups
I have 2 Friendica accounts and 1 on Mastodon. Both Friendica accounts are following the Mastodon one. If i like or share a posting of the #Mastodon account out of my Friendica timelines, these are acknowledged and counted on the Mastodon account. But only one of the #Friendica accounts triggers a notification on Mastodon, the other doesn't.
How can this be?

"Optimismus ist nur ein Mangel an Information." (Heiner Müller)
I'm considering changing the engagement details below posts and comments now that Bookface shows icons for them. The current appearance is a vertical list, which can leave a lot of unused space to the right of it, plus all the explanatory text feels redundant and visually cluttering to me:
So I'm considering eliminating the explanatory text and going with a horizontal list of just names (for single interactions) and counts (that trigger the pop-over list) like this:
But that got me to an option with just icons and counts, which is similar to how Facebook and Misskey/Sharkey show reactions/engagements:
Which is what I'd prefer as it looks the cleanest and most consistent.
Thoughts on this proposed change? (I really wish Friendica had polls for this sort of thing!)

Friendica: help/support neede / Hilfe, unerfahrener Friendica admin...
Hi.
I am trying to find out if its a good idea to run my own #friendica server for family, relatives and friends. Motivation: #unplugtrump. Historically, the clan (still) uses iCloud and photo sharing etc.
My friendica server is blusox.de hosted by weingärtner-it (Thank you!).
I am trying to get used to be an admin for friendica. Some things are going well, others are leading to questions which it seems I cant solve by myself or by RTFM.
So if anyone should feel like introducing me to some do's and dont's or supplying some useful knowledge for a more or less closed friendica instance, please get in touch.
German welcome.
Current unsolved problems:
- Apart from an admin account I have two "regular" users who are friends with each other and who see each others posts. They can interact etc. But embedded photos are hidden for some reason. Which settings do I have to check?
- Is a group a reasonable feature to create "sub groups" in our clan? I didn't manage to get groups going.
- Is it a better idea to try a #pixelfed server for this purpose? The photo quality seems to get reduced to a tolerable minimum here on friendica.
Thanks!
Postboxes Version 1.1
* Solid Colors renamed to match HTML color names
* 24 new solid colors added
* 5 new gradient backgrounds added
* 17 new pattern backgrounds added
* 11 animated backgrounds added
* Fixed the load order so it overrides Postbox styles in Bookface if present
The previous solid color names have been mapped to the new ones, so any existing Postboxes in your feed using the old names will still look good.
The gradient backgrounds were ones that got missed from the initial release and are similar to the ones Facebook used to offer.
The pattern backgrounds all use pure CSS, no images, so they will render fast and do not incur an additional resource load from the server.
The animated backgrounds are exclusively available on servers that use either of the two add-ons. None of the animated styles are included in the Bookface scheme because some of them use SVG images. They use pure CSS animation as well, no JS code or animated GIF images.
Notice how I said the gradients were similar to the ones Facebook used to offer? Shortly after I introduced Postboxes to Friendica the backgrounds on Facebook were coincidentally(?) completely overhauled. IMO Friendica now has a nicer selection anyway and even Facebook doesn’t offer animated post backgrounds.

Bookface Version 1.7 Release
These are the changes and fixes in this release:
* Restyled “New Message” button to make it more obvious.
* Fixed Profile Pics and Cover Photos not working in old iOS browsers
* Moved Postbox styles to the end of the stylesheet
* Minified Postbox CSS.
* Restyled Item Responses
* Action Buttons you’ve interacted with before now adopt accent color.
* Fix for disabled Action Buttons to make it clear they are disabled.
* Fixed issue with slow-loading secondary toolbar in Safari
* Updated with Postbox version 1.1 styles
— names of solid colors now match HTML color names
— 24 new solid colors
— 5 new gradient backgrounds
— 17 new pattern backgrounds
Some of these will be fairly obvious. The big one is that the Action Buttons below posts and comments used to change to the accent color on hover and there was no indicator if you’d previously interacted with any of them. NOW they have a slight shift in darkness/lightness on hover and the accent color indicates you’ve previously clicked the Like, Dislike, Share, or Event buttons (the exceptions being Comment or Quote). If a post's scope is limited (not public) the "Share" and "Quote" buttons are now obviously disabled by being faded out.
Engagement Counts also now show an icon indicating the type of engagement, which should make it easier to see what kind of engagement a post or comment is getting. And if there are 2+ the individuals are revealed in a pop-over box rather than pushing the entire layout down.
The new Postbox pattern backgrounds are done with pure CSS, no images! So they’ll load and display fast and don’t incur additional server calls. Postboxes are just a nice looking way to dress up your text-only posts. Of course only Friendica users will see them, and only if they are using the Bookface scheme or their instance has installed one of the Postbox add-ons. The styling doesn’t transfer to other platforms (Note: there are still issues with Postbox posts shared to Diaspora and Hubzilla).
Thank you to everyone who gave me feedback, reported issues, and tested things for me to help improve Bookface for everyone. :D

[strong]Friendica: Keine Kontaktinfos bei den Beiträgen?[/strong]
Früher war es doch so das wenn man mit dem Mauszeiger oben über den Namen oder das Profilbild eines Kontakts ging ein kleines Feld kam in dem man verschiedene Optionen zum Kontakt hatte. Doch hier ist das irgendwie nicht mehr der Fall, es ist nur noch ein Link zum Profil. Ist das ein generelles Problem, oder nur bei mir?

Ich habe bei #Friendica schon länger einen Kanal mit Volltextsuche erstellt und wollte fragen ob das so korrekt ist.

Es sollen Beiträge gefunden werden welche eine bestimmte Zeichenfolge oder Hashtags enthalten. Es sollen jedoch Beiträge nicht ausgegeben werden wenn bestimmte Zeichenfolgen enthalten sind.
Ich habe festgestellt dass #uBlock den Teilen Button unter den Beiträgen auf #Friendica ausblendet. Schuld ist diese Liste

[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.

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.
