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.

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.
🤔

@Friendica Support

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.

SPOILER - click to open/close || Introduction

This tutorial is an adaption of the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️ based on the experience of the installation report by @…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup:
https://squeet.me/display/962c3e10-5765-2e86-4a15-589579746174
and specific help by @Raroun.

Server specs and friendica version used:
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk
Friendica [STABLE] | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518

SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowTo

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."

@admin@tupambae.org @tutorial@tupambae.org

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:

[strong]Friendica: Schnelles Umschalten zwischen den Benutzerkonten?[/strong]

Hallo Zusammen. Derzeit muss man ja um zwischen mehreren Konten hin und her zu springen auf [em]Menü[/em] => [em]Nutzerkonten[/em] => Konto auswählen. Gibt es ein AddOn oder so, mit dem ich ein Ausklappmenü erhalte mit dem ich direkt zwischen den Konten umschalten kann? Das würde es wesentlich einfacher mit verschiedenen thematischen Konten zu arbeiten.

Danke für Eure Tipps und Hilfe im Voraus.

#Friendica #Frage #Konten #Benutzerkonten #Umschalten #AddOn #2025-01-26 !Friendica Support

I wonder how I can create a new addon for #Friendica that does several things, one I would like to be able to create html posts, second I would like to have full media player, where I can listen to my music within my instance as well as share what I am listening to, I dont want to link services, I want to have a full inhouse media server, same with videos, I want to be able to upload to my server and watch them and share them in my feed, as well as possibly live stream both audio and video, now of course I know knowing about writing code, and I know even less about how to integrate into my Friendica instance, but just a few things I would really enjoy having maybe someone can help by either creating it, or at the least offer a good source for a coding challenged individual to do it themselves, !Friendica Developers !Friendica Support

[strong]Friendica: Fehlende Emoticons in der mobilen Version?[/strong]

Ein kleiner Tipp für alle, die neu auf #Friendica sind und ihre schönsten Bilder importieren möchten. Dazu gibt es eine Funktion, mit der ihr mehrere Bilder gleichzeitig hochladen und in einem Fotoalbum gruppieren könnt.

Ruft dazu den Massen-Upload von Bildern auf:



Anschließend muss das Fotoalbum nur noch benannt und alle Bilder per Drag&Drop in das Upload-Feld gezogen werden.



Die Bilder werden nun importiert und stehen anschließend im Fotoalbum zur Verfügung. Dort können die Bilder weiter bearbeitet werden, indem man eine Bildbeschreibung hinzufügt, Tags vergibt oder Bilder löscht, die nur versehentlich in den Upload geraten sind.

Das Schöne ist. All diese Bilder stehen in den Alben zur Verfügung, um einmal oder mehrmals in Beiträgen verwendet zu werden. Deshalb bietet der Editor die Möglichkeit, Bilder aus den Alben zu übernehmen. Die Textbeschreibungen werden dabei 1:1 übernommen.

Hi @kmh and @Matthias

Took a look at your #friendica bookface theme and I am in love. It eradicates so many issues I had with the current frio default theme that I was wondering, are you planning to create a PR for this to be included in default friendica?

Let's try it again: This post from #Mastodon can reach the whole #Fediverse, #Bluesky & more. That's #Sharkey, #Pixelfed (hence the pic), #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hometown, #Akkoma... How far can it go?

@Friendica Support

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.

Friendica auf dem Raspberry Pi installieren

Nicht nur für mich als kleine Gedankenstütze halte ich hier auf meinem Blog fest, wie ich es endlich geschafft habe, Friendica auf dem Raspberry Pi zu installieren. Nun bin ich selbst überhaupt kein Experte in solchen Dingen, man möge es mir nachsehen, falls ich einen Fehler gemacht oder etwas doppelt geschrieben habe. Ich bin auch noch nicht so lange im Fediverse unterwegs und bei Linux […]

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?

Imo, #Friendica will have a better adoption if it will also have a theme that looks like the #Facebook's one.

For those who don't know, you can also change how your interface looks by going to Settings > Display and then the 1st two sections. The problem is that there are generally only two options:

• Frio - which is the default, but some people find it rather dated, and
  [li] Vier - which, despite its description, looks kinda more dated than Frio and with less custom color options

This is clearly not ideal when people are looking for a more minimalistic interface, that looks more like the one brought up by platforms like Xitter, Reddit or even current day Facebook.

I found two repositories on GitHub with some Friendica themes (here and here), but they seem way more outdated as well (even though some of them seem cool even today). trom.tf also has some cool themes that they made, starting from the default Frio one.

Given that themes can be selected by a user from a simple drop-down in the settings, I think having a more Facebook-like theme at hand would really be a boon to Friendica's adoption given these times, what do you think?

I cannot find any documentation for how to install friendica using sqlite driver instead of mysql. I already know how to do the standard installation with mysql but I want to use sqlite instead.

I need help with installing and running via sqlite backend and tips on how to minimize database storage size. Is there any documentation on this? Has anyone done it?

I cannot see my own GoToSocial posts in my profile, if I do mention a Friendica group. Example:

Looks like a #friendica #gotosocial issue

All, there is an opportunity to get funding for open-source projects via the Next Generation Internet framework by the European Commission. Send in your ideas. Deadline February 1, 2025. For example, the federated social network Mobilizon is partly funded by this program.

@cantences I have various #Friendica accounts [different instances], but i have practically-speaking more or less abandoned them, primarily for this issue. Most of my friends use Masto not Friendica, & delays of minutes to hours in F makes ~real time interactions with them impossible.

Dear all, to attract new FRIENDICA users, the server selection is the first barrier any new user will encounter, so the [em]confusing, out-dated and user-unfriendly directory for public servers[/em], of which many are not "public" (family-servers, testing, ....) will scare away many potential users. Better to delete and point to other similar services, eg fedidb.org.

What do others think?

Can I follow friends on #BlueSky from #Friendica (and specifically from Libranet)? I haven't managed so far. I tried searching for their profile URL with /rss at the end, but nothing is found. I've seen some conversations about this, but couldn't find a way to make it work.

Thanks!

While browsing through my #Friendica database, I detected that I now have two identical contact records for myself. Initially, they were these records in table contact:

Id	Account
0	System account
2	my account

But now, something has changed to

Id	Account
0	Zombie record
2	my account
3	my account (clone)
4	System account

I have no clue, what has initiated this change, whether it is bad (I assume so) and how to cure it.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Hello !Friendica Support,

Does Friendica actually offer the option of sending an invitation link?

Not even Relatica can, even though it's made for Friendica :(
