You must first install the ‘Guest Access’ app and add it to the app menu. This is easy and is explained here:

Before you upload a large amount of image material to the instance, you should check with the admin whether this is ok.

With Friendica you can restrict access to the images... i.e. also to a certain group of people (the tour participants). This also makes it impossible for them to share the pictures directly with others.

However, as far as I know, uploading by others is not possible.

Even if this is the Friendica support forum... Hubzilla allows you to do exactly what you want. There you can create a non-public private community forum as a channel and allow members (who you allow to join) to upload. Sharing outside the forum is not possible there either.[footer]---

So for example you could decide to subscribe to a lot of news channels, but you don't want to see them in the network timeline, since they post that often. Instead you create a channel for them and browse them from time to time. Same could be an option for groups or for feeds.

I remember - when I had #hubzilla account - I used their "affinity" feature to filter this. Affinity was number from 0-100 (iirc) and you used slider to chose what will appear in timeline. I can imagine creating separate channels for close contacts with affinity <50 and "filler" contacts with affinity <50 afterwards. Hubzilla had slider to chose how close contacts you would like to see on your timeline.

Just an idea to consider.

Andere Teams, andere Entscheidung. Bei #Friendica, #Pleroma, #Firefish, #Hubzilla ist die Zeichenzahl höher oder lässt sich vom Admin einfach einstellen. MMn sind 500 zu kurz und das Limit heisst ja nicht, dass man es immer erreichen muss. @helpers @heluecht
