[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?

[strong]Die Daten meiner Instanz:[/strong] Diese Friendica-Instanz verwendet die Version 2024.12, sie ist unter der folgenden Adresse im Web zu finden https://fedinaut.de. Die Datenbankversion ist 1576/1576 und die Post-Update-Version 1550/1550.

Danke für Tipps und Hilfe im Voraus

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

wort1* wort2* wort3* tag:wort4* tag:wort5* tag:wort6* -wort7* -wort8* -wort9*

Es sollen Beiträge gefunden werden welche eine bestimmte Zeichenfolge oder Hashtags enthalten. Es sollen jedoch Beiträge nicht ausgegeben werden wenn bestimmte Zeichenfolgen enthalten sind.

@Friendica Support
Ich habe festgestellt dass #uBlock den Teilen Button unter den Beiträgen auf #Friendica ausblendet. Schuld ist diese Liste
Dandelion Sprout's Annoyances List
Dort ist folgender Eintrag hinterlegt
Filter##div[class*="share-link"]
Ich habe nun unter Meine Filter eine Ausnahme festgelegt.
Dort habe ich das eingetragen:
www.anonsys.net#@#div[class*="share-link"]

The same thing happens here with the client and the website of the instance. The 500 error occurs with almost every other action. #Friendica is no longer usable.

[strong]Friendica: Unvollständige Federation mit Lemmy[/strong]

Wenn ich die Lemmy Community https://feddit.org/c/heidelberg der ich seil längerer Zeit folge direkt öffne, sehen die ersten sechs Beiträge so aus:



Wenn ich sie mir jedoch über Friendica anschaue sehen ich jedoch nur die drei Beiträge davon, die ich selbst erstellt habe:



Sprich die Hälfte der Beiträge fehlt. [strong]Woran kann das liegen ?[/strong]

#Friendica #Frage #Lemmy #Federation #Beiträge #2025-04-28 !Friendica Support @Matthias

@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 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:

• 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.

#Friendica @Friendica Support

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.

Auch relevant für @Friendica Admins / @Friendica Support

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 installation on the VPS hosting
--
Up to this point we basically performed a standard LAMP installation on a ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS hosting.

The following steps concern the actual friendica server installation.

---

---

creating the directory for friendica and the user www-data

creat directories and permission for user www-data

back ground information what-is-var-www-html?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16197663/what-is-var-www-htm
some general setup indications for the settings for several websites on the same server:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-20-04

¡IMPORTANT!
The following command and setting should only be used if you are on a clean brand new ubuntu VPS setup as it will or at least might meddle with your already existing web page setups as @tom s politely pointed out:
"This would damage a lot of (server) installations out there. Do not do this in /var/www, if you are not really sure, what you're doing."
rootname@VPShosting:~# sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
rootname@VPShosting:~# cd /var/www

creating user www-data and changing from user rootname to www-data

rootname@VPShosting:~/var/www# sudo -u www-data bash
www-data@VPShosting:~$

(confirmation check if this is where console changes to www-data@VPShosting:~#)

moving (deactivating) the old /html folder

www-data@VPShosting:~$ mv html html.bak

The new /html folder will be created when we clone the gitHub stable branch of friendica in the next step.

---

cloning friendica from the gitHub repository

www-data@VPShosting:~$ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica.git -b stable html

configure PHP dependencies

www-data@VPShosting:~$ cd html
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ bin/composer.phar install --no-dev
(is this the point the SSL install went wrong?)
https://squeet.me/display/962c3e10-1265-2ea9-912d-3cc762780991

creating folder for page view renderings

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ mkdir -p view/smarty3
www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ chmod 775 view/smarty3

cloning the addons github repository

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ git clone https://github.com/friendica/friendica-addons.git -b stable addon

activating .htaccess

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ cp .htaccess-dist .htaccess

exiting user www-data

www-data@VPShosting:~/html$ exit

!Friendica Support

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.

@Michael 🇺🇦 @Jools

Hi, I have a question
Why sudo -u www-data bin/console storage move it was used? When I installed and configured #friendica on my server , i changed the storage to filesystem , what i did i created the storage folder (out of the friendica folder) , after sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/storage in Storage Administration Filesystem I entered the path and it is saved /var/www/friendicastorage

I missed something? what i did is correct?

Cheers

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 @all ?

#friendica Q&A @Tutorial

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.ini

reasons for this "help to understand" request

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.

[Error] Friendica\Console\Storage::doExecute(): Return value must be of type int, null returned


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)

MariaDB [xxxxxxxxxxxx]> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM photo WHERE data IS NOT NULL;
+----------+
| 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?

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?

[strong]Friendica: Mehrere Bilder auf einmal hochladen?[/strong]

Hallo Zusammen, ich hatte in Erinnerung das es eine Möglichkeit gäbe mehrere Bilder gleichzeitig hochzuladen. Doch irgendwie finde ich das nicht mehr. Soweit ich mich erinnere ist konnte man die Bilder vom Dateimanager in das Uploadfenster ziehen, jedoch finde ich das irgendwie nicht mehr.



Habe ich da was übersehen?

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

#diaspora #pollFeatures

#diasporaPoll about polling.

#poll feature test, related to a #friendica post about vote by name polling.
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.

Important detail first for D* users:
The original post on friendica has already moved to v.0x so it's recommended to visite this link to have an idea if there have been importante updates, other wise your comments might become out of context or be way behind the time line.

What link mʕ•ﻌ•ʔm jesuiSatire .. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ?
Look's that there was definitely missing some #mateina in your circuits.

Here is the link to watch the whole thing unraveling in real time and with all eventual text updates in posts and answers, dear #diasporians:
https://forum.friendi.ca/display/0ac89072-1767-a1e2-3482-4df229573083
Actually such a link is federated thru out the activityPub federation but not present on D*, so friendicans could consider to add those originating links in a comment if that seems reasonable or important, probably something to have in mind depending on the content.
Right now the post is in v.02

Mayor changes:

* poll's aren't drown in pool's anymore

If you you don't care about pool's just be brilliantly absent from the ballot box.
Ballot count since v.01 of this post:
Two hundred eighty seven friendicans abstained from the vote because they don't have a Badekapp for the pool option, no votes in favor of poll's and one vote against poll's by the user @Wilhelm.

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.

The two #Friendica instances are online again - seems I could solve the problem, there are no more kill messages from the system.

!Friendica Support
I have to temporarily suspend two #Friendica instances - they are each running on a share hoster and the worker is causing problems - is constantly being killed by the system. There don't seem to be enough resources for #Friendica.

🏠 My post and conversations slow loading...

Hello @Friendica Support
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

cheers

Learning question and a call for action:
Why do people say that the #friendica user interface #UI as seen from a standard laptop desktop, in other words a working station screen, isn't a pleasant experience?

This looks like serious stuff to me, like a #newsPaper outlet similiar to #NYtimes or #ZEIT.

• 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.

Can somebody please #enshittify this #KISS a littel bit, wasting time, attention and selfconfidence of the coder community!

So you tell me that to install #Friendica on a shared hoster is a bad idea? Well, root servers are not in my budget.

!Friendica Developers !Friendica Support

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.
