@utzer I think if we look at the breakdown of what my #friendica instance sees, and claims to be a part of, your seeing everything that has been live in the lets say past 24 hours that is directly connected to the fedieverse via #activitypub, and a lot of these articles only gather stats for certain #mastadon instances and not the fediverse as a whole, I only have around 157 contacts, my DB is around 13GB, a lot of these stats are per the moment they are collected and most the articles only focus on a handfull of instances at best, here is what my instance is seeing right now,

That is an insane amount of data, and a fairly accurate one, I believe your numbers are right, but in relation to what you have read, they only report the numbers they either see, or that represent the message they are trying to convey, just my 2 cents;

Why does #Racoon for #Friendica show a shared Diaspora post as blank?


@Friendica Support

Ok so recently I ran into a hiccup with an issue that effects how my jetstream and daemons run on my #friendica instance, as I am still working on the what I created a workaround that makes sure that they run as they should, I made one more semi useful script for a resource control hack, that helps throttle lsphp to reduce server loads on limited resources without compromising flow of feeds, then I have made some cron adjustments that may or may not help your #friendica instance; I am sharing my little scripts and hacks for those who may have resource issues where their daemon and jetstream keep getting killed, or where they are on a limited server environment, I offer no promise nor support, but for me it is working nicely;
Again I make no claims of actual usability or benefit, as of posting this it seems to be working well on my #friendica instance;

⚙️ The Friendica Automation Suite (Crontab)
Scheduled Maintenance & Self-Healing Guards
This configuration file acts as the "Brain" of your Friendica instance. It manages the scheduling for background tasks, periodic cache cleaning, and—most importantly—ensures your custom stability scripts (Bouncer and StayAlive) never stop running.

⚠️ Implementation Note: Replace YOUR_HOME, YOUR_USER, and YOUR_INSTANCE_ROOT with your actual server paths.

These Crons are provided "as-is" for educational and personal use.

They will not be maintained or updated.

No support or bug fixes will be provided.

Use at your own risk..

🛠 What This Schedule Manages
1. Core Background Tasks
Hourly Maintenance: Runs friendica_cron.sh to handle general background cleanup.

Frequent Worker: Executes the Friendica worker every 15 minutes to keep the federation queue moving.

2. Housekeeping & Performance
To prevent disk bloat and keep the interface snappy, the following cleanup tasks are automated:

Monthly Smarty Purge: Clears compiled template files on the 1st of every month to refresh the UI engine.

Weekly Storage Cleanup: Clears the avatar and storage cache every Sunday at 1:00 AM.

Weekly Node Cache: Flushes the node cache every Sunday at 1:30 AM to keep remote directory info fresh.

3. The "Immortal" Guard System
The most critical part of this setup is the Watchdog for the Watchdogs.

Boot Persistence: Both the StayAlive.sh (Service Guard) and bouncer.sh (Resource Throttle) are set to trigger immediately upon a server reboot (@reboot).

The Safety Check: Every hour (for StayAlive) and every minute (for the Bouncer), the system checks if the scripts are still running. If they’ve been killed by the system, it automatically restarts them.

📋 Installation
To apply these rules to your server:

Open your crontab editor:

Bash
crontab -e
Paste the configuration, ensuring your paths are correct.

Save and exit.

🔍 Pro-Tip: Monitoring
You have MAILTO set at the top. If your server is configured for mail, any errors from these tasks will be sent directly to your inbox. If you prefer to log to a file instead, you can change the >/dev/null 2>&1 at the end of the lines to >> ~/cron_log.txt 2>&1.

# These are the Bouncer's Rules
MAX_KIDS=3        # Only 3 people in the kitchen at once

while true
do
  # 1. Count how many 'lsphp' workers are busy with your site
  CURRENT_KIDS=$(pgrep -f "lsphp.*YOUR_INSTANCE_ROOT" | wc -l)

 # Lower priority for all lsphp processes to keep the server cool
    pgrep -u *YOUR_USER lsphp | xargs -r renice -n 15 > /dev/null 2>&1

  # 2. If there are more than 3...
  if [ "$CURRENT_KIDS" -gt "$MAX_KIDS" ]; then
    echo "Bouncer: Too many kids! Making the extras wait in the hallway."
    
    # This finds the newest workers and tells them to 'STOP' (Pause)
    # They stay in line, but they don't use any CPU while paused.
    pgrep -f "lsphp.*YOUR_INSTANCE_ROOT" | tail -n +$((MAX_KIDS+1)) | xargs kill -STOP

README

🚪 The LSPHP Bouncer
Resource Throttle & Process Queue for Shared Hosting
The LSPHP Bouncer is a lightweight Bash watchdog designed for users on LiteSpeed-based hosting. It prevents your account from hitting "Resource Limit Reached" errors (508 errors) by pausing excess PHP processes (lsphp) instead of letting them crash the site or trigger a provider-level kill.

⚠️ Maintenance Notice
This project is provided "as-is" for educational and personal use.

It will not be maintained or updated.

No support or bug fixes will be provided.

Use at your own risk..

🧐 How It Works
LiteSpeed servers often spawn many lsphp workers to handle incoming traffic. If too many start at once, your host might lock your account for exceeding CPU or process limits.

The Headcount: Every second, the Bouncer counts how many PHP workers are active for your specific site.

The Velvet Rope: If the count exceeds your MAX_KIDS limit, the Bouncer sends a SIGSTOP signal to the extra processes. This pauses them—they stay in the queue but stop consuming CPU cycles.

The Entry: After a short cooldown (CHECK_TIME), the Bouncer sends a SIGCONT signal, letting those processes finish their work one by one.

🛠 Configuration
Open the script and adjust these "House Rules" to match your hosting plan:

MAX_KIDS: The maximum number of PHP processes you are allowed (e.g., 3).

CHECK_TIME: How many seconds to pause the "extras" before letting them work again.

Process Filter: The script looks for "lsphp.*your.domain". Ensure the string matches what shows up in your process monitor (usually top or htop).

🚀 Setup & Execution
1. Make it Executable
Bash
chmod +x bouncer.sh
2. Run the Bouncer
To keep the Bouncer running even after you log out of SSH:

Bash
nohup ./bouncer.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
📈 Why use this?
Avoids 508 Errors: Instead of the server showing a "Limit Reached" page, the site just feels a tiny bit slower while the Bouncer staggers the load.

CPU Friendly: Paused processes (kill -STOP) consume zero CPU, helping you stay under the "Energy" or "Heat" limits of your host.

Specific Targeting: Using pgrep -f, it only targets your specific site's workers, leaving other processes alone.


Persistent Service Guard

#!/bin/bash

# --- CONFIGURATION (Users change these) ---
# The absolute path to your application root
SITE_ROOT="/path/to/your/app"

# The path to the PHP binary (usually 'php' or a specific version)
PHP_CLI="/usr/bin/php"

# Name of the console executable
CONSOLE_APP="bin/console.php"

# Where to save the logs
LOG_FILE="./guard_log.txt"

# List of services to monitor
SERVICES=("daemon" "jetstream")

# --- CORE LOGIC (Do not edit below) ---
CONSOLE_PHP="$SITE_ROOT/$CONSOLE_APP"

echo "$(date): Persistent Guard started for services: ${SERVICES[*]}" >> "$LOG_FILE"

while true; do
    for SERVICE in "${SERVICES[@]}"; do
        # Check status
        STATUS=$($PHP_CLI $CONSOLE_PHP $SERVICE status 2>&1)

        if [[ "$STATUS" != *"is running"* ]]; then
            echo "$(date): $SERVICE is DOWN. Attempting start..." >> "$LOG_FILE"
            $PHP_CLI $CONSOLE_PHP $SERVICE start >> "$LOG_FILE" 2>&1
        fi
    done
    sleep 60
done

README

Persistent Service Guard
A robust, lightweight Bash-based watchdog script designed to monitor and automatically restart background services (such as Friendica daemons or Jetstream workers) for PHP-based applications.

⚠️ Maintenance Notice
This project is provided "as-is" for educational and personal use.

It will not be maintained or updated.

No support or bug fixes will be provided.

Use at your own risk.

🚀 What It Does
The Service Guard addresses the common issue where background processes or daemons on shared or private hosting may crash or be killed by the system.

Active Monitoring: It loops indefinitely, checking the status of defined services every 60 seconds.

Automatic Recovery: If a service is reported as "not running," the script immediately attempts to restart it.

Logging: Every check, failure, and restart attempt is timestamped and recorded for auditing.

🛠 Setup & Usage
1. Configuration
Before running, ensure the following variables in guard.sh match your environment:

SITE_ROOT: The absolute path to your application root.

PHP_CLI: The path to the PHP binary (e.g., /usr/bin/php).

SERVICES: The names of the services to monitor (e.g., "daemon" "jetstream").

2. Permissions
Grant execution rights to the script:

Bash
chmod +x guard.sh
3. Execution
Run the script in the background to ensure it persists after your session ends:

Bash
nohup ./guard.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
📊 Managing Logs
The script appends data to guard_log.txt. To prevent this file from consuming excessive disk space, use one of the following methods:

Manual Truncation
Clear the log without stopping the script:

Bash
> guard_log.txt
Automatic Log Rotation (Improvement Example)
To automate log management, add this logic inside the while loop of the script:

Bash
# Improvement: Simple Log Rotation
MAX_SIZE=1048576 # 1MB in bytes
FILE_SIZE=$(stat -c%s "$LOG_FILE")

if [ "$FILE_SIZE" -gt "$MAX_SIZE" ]; then
echo "$(date): Log rotated (size limit reached)" > "$LOG_FILE"
fi
📈 Potential Improvements
Users wishing to extend the script's functionality can implement the following:

1. Auto-Discovery
Replace the hardcoded PHP_CLI path with dynamic discovery:

Bash
PHP_CLI=$(which php)
2. Failure Notifications
Integrate curl to send alerts to Discord or Telegram when a service fails:

Bash
# Discord Notification Example
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{\"content\": \"⚠️ Alert: $SERVICE has crashed. Restarting...\"}" YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL
3. Dependency Validation
Add a check to verify the application exists before the loop starts:

Bash
if [ ! -f "$CONSOLE_PHP" ]; then
echo "Error: Console application not found at $CONSOLE_PHP"
exit 1
fi

Specific Targeting: Using pgrep -f, it only targets your specific site's workers, leaving other processes alone.

Ok so recently I ran into a hiccup with an issue that effects how my jetstream and daemons run on my #friendica instance, as I am still working on the what I created a workaround that makes sure that they run as they should, I am sharing my little script for those who may have issues where their daemon and jetstream keep getting killed, I offer no promise nor support, but for me it is working nicely;

#!/bin/bash

# --- CONFIGURATION (Users change these) ---
# The absolute path to your application root
SITE_ROOT="/path/to/your/app"

# The path to the PHP binary (usually 'php' or a specific version)
PHP_CLI="/usr/bin/php"

# Name of the console executable
CONSOLE_APP="bin/console.php"

# Where to save the logs
LOG_FILE="./guard_log.txt"

# List of services to monitor
SERVICES=("daemon" "jetstream")

# --- CORE LOGIC (Do not edit below) ---
CONSOLE_PHP="$SITE_ROOT/$CONSOLE_APP"

echo "$(date): Persistent Guard started for services: ${SERVICES}" >> "$LOG_FILE"

while true; do
for SERVICE in "${SERVICES[@]}"; do
# Check status
STATUS=$($PHP_CLI $CONSOLE_PHP $SERVICE status 2>&1)

if [[ "$STATUS" != *"is running"* ]]; then
echo "$(date): $SERVICE is DOWN. Attempting start..." >> "$LOG_FILE"
$PHP_CLI $CONSOLE_PHP $SERVICE start >> "$LOG_FILE" 2>&1
fi
done
sleep 60
done

README
Persistent Service Guard
A robust, lightweight Bash-based watchdog script designed to monitor and automatically restart background services (such as Friendica daemons or Jetstream workers) for PHP-based applications.

⚠️ Maintenance Notice
This project is provided "as-is" for educational and personal use.

It will not be maintained or updated.

No support or bug fixes will be provided.

Use at your own risk.

🚀 What It Does
The Service Guard addresses the common issue where background processes or daemons on shared or private hosting may crash or be killed by the system.

Active Monitoring: It loops indefinitely, checking the status of defined services every 60 seconds.

Automatic Recovery: If a service is reported as "not running," the script immediately attempts to restart it.

Logging: Every check, failure, and restart attempt is timestamped and recorded for auditing.

🛠 Setup & Usage
1. Configuration
Before running, ensure the following variables in guard.sh match your environment:

SITE_ROOT: The absolute path to your application root.

PHP_CLI: The path to the PHP binary (e.g., /usr/bin/php).

SERVICES: The names of the services to monitor (e.g., "daemon" "jetstream").

2. Permissions
Grant execution rights to the script:

Bash
chmod +x guard.sh
3. Execution
Run the script in the background to ensure it persists after your session ends:

Bash
nohup ./guard.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &
📊 Managing Logs
The script appends data to guard_log.txt. To prevent this file from consuming excessive disk space, use one of the following methods:

Manual Truncation
Clear the log without stopping the script:

Bash
> guard_log.txt
Automatic Log Rotation (Improvement Example)
To automate log management, add this logic inside the while loop of the script:

Bash
# Improvement: Simple Log Rotation
MAX_SIZE=1048576 # 1MB in bytes
FILE_SIZE=$(stat -c%s "$LOG_FILE")

if [ "$FILE_SIZE" -gt "$MAX_SIZE" ]; then
echo "$(date): Log rotated (size limit reached)" > "$LOG_FILE"
fi
📈 Potential Improvements
Users wishing to extend the script's functionality can implement the following:

1. Auto-Discovery
Replace the hardcoded PHP_CLI path with dynamic discovery:

Bash
PHP_CLI=$(which php)
2. Failure Notifications
Integrate curl to send alerts to Discord or Telegram when a service fails:

Bash
# Discord Notification Example
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{\"content\": \"⚠️ Alert: $SERVICE has crashed. Restarting...\"}" YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL
3. Dependency Validation
Add a check to verify the application exists before the loop starts:

Bash
if [ ! -f "$CONSOLE_PHP" ]; then
echo "Error: Console application not found at $CONSOLE_PHP"
exit 1
fi

@Melanie Wehowski ich bin #neuhier auf deinem Server und war bisher ein #mastodon user. - #scham

Erst einmal vielen Dank für deine Arbeit und das ich hier sein darf.

Ich habe ein paar Fragen zu Friendica, die mir das Web nicht so einfach beantworten konnte.

#theme - kann man das Theme im Webbrowser irgendwo umstellen? Türkise Schrift auf hellem Hintergrund ist nichts mehr für meine alten Augen.
Ich bin zu doof es zu finden.

Aus Sicherheitsgründen habe ich #2FA aktiviert. Damit funktioniert die Anmeldung über #Relatica nicht mehr.
Gibt es so was wie #API-Schlüssel oder App-#Passphrases?

Durch den Systemwechsel von #Mastodon zu #friendica konnte ich keine Account-Umleitung und keinen Follower Ex- & Import nutzen. Die meisten habe ich einfach händisch neu angelegt.
Ich würde aber gerne #Hashtags folgen. Ich verstehe noch nicht, wo ich diese eintrage.

Ich komme mir mit meinen Fragen mal wieder vor, wie ein Anfänger.
Oder bin ich nur der, der sich traut, diese öffentlich zu stellen?

Auf jeden Fall vielen Dank für die Arbeit, die du hier rein steckst und einen schönen Sonntag aus dem #BergischLand.

Hallo zusammen,
ich hab festgestellt dass RSS-Feeds die ich über Friendica abonniert hab (z.B. RND) in Mastodon-Apps immer eingeklappt angezeigt werden. Der Artikel-Titel landet offenbar als Content Warning.

Das gleiche passiert auch bei meinen eigenen Posts wenn ich einen Titel vergebe.

Im Mastodon Netzwerk: Alles okay
Im 2. Mastodon-Konto Friendica: Posts mit Titel sind alle eingeklappt

Ist das bekannt? Gibt es da was geplantes oder einen Workaround?
Danke!

Ich habe eine Einladung zu eurosky.social bekommen, einem aus den Niederlanden betriebenen europäischen AT-Protocol-Netz, das wie ich verstehe auch mit Bluesky förderiert ist. Ist bekannt ob das Bluesky-Plugin von Friendica inzwischen problemlos mit AT-Servern arbeitet, die nicht von Bluesky sind? Ich meine in einem Readme was gelesen zu haben dass die Funktionalität da sei, aber noch nicht freigeschaltet sei. Ich würde gerne meine Bluesky-Account nach Eurosky migrieren, möchte aber sicher sein dass ich dann auch weiterhin komfortable mit Freindica beide Netze, Fediversum/Activitypub und *sky/AT, bespielen kann. #Bluesky #Addon #Friendica

@Anomaly i have a hard time leaving a dangling thread sometimes, it usually results in a lot of aggravation, but it keeps me busy so I don't feel so much of the pain im in, anyways stable is what I preach as I dangle off a cliff, have to accept the risk of failure and loss before jumping into chaos, sometimes I win and learn sometimes I lose and learn; actually at the moment its all working well, I am trying to figure out now how to disable comments, I have it working locally on my single user instance which is useless, the war is getting to to work across the fediverse without breaking everything else, #friendica is robust yet fragile, every little change seems to throw it into a panik or crash, I may figure it out by the next release, maybe;

@Raroun @Friendica Support within the past fortnight i discovered a new theme has been added, gnome, which is a much nicer alternative to the existing dark & black themes. despite me being a kde plasma fangirl, heehee. thanks for it.

one minor quibble with it is that unlike all the other themes, this one does not readily highlight the new items in the Notifications menu dropdown, instead subtly using just the theme's accent colour at the extremities. that works, but IMO it would still be desired to assign an obvious contrast background colour to the new items, like the other themes.

given clearly i am wishlist-dreaming atm, one other desirable enhancement would be to let users pick their own custom accent colour, for this & other themes.

#friendica #opensocialspace

Alright, it worked to switch the branch to stable for those two images (or whatever this is called in Docker) and there was no outstanding DB update before or after I switched the branch.

Anyone else did update the #Docker based setup of #Friendica to the 2026 version yet?

@Friendica Support @Raroun overnight [it's now my saturday 10am, midnight germany] there's been a subtle change in the timestamping of all posts in all my timelines. previously they displayed their posting time as "x hours ago", & i could only see the actual posting time by hovering on that item. now, they directly display the posting time... & i like this a lot. has there been a software update that did this, or was an administrative config change made?

this is not a complaint, not a problem -- i like this change -- it's just a surprise, so i am curious. thank you.

#Friendica #OpensocialSpace

omg, it only took me a month and a half with 50 or so failures wipes restores wipes and finally a fresh install after losing 3 database backups and imports, lost a few days of posts over all, but I finally got my #friendica instance upgraded to Friendica 'Blutwurz' 2026.04-dev - 1589 with php 8.5.2, and so far it appears to actually be working this time, i love friendica, I just wish the @Friendica Admins @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support had made it a bit more flexible every little change breaks everything, and it becomes a nearly never ending chase to customize and keep current, anyways for now I think my quite little instance is upgraded and running;

Hello !Friendica Support
can I switch the docker branch now?

I have right now:

app:
    image: friendica:2025.07-rc-fpm

and

cron:
    image: friendica:2025.07-rc-fpm

Can I switch this to:

app:
    image: friendica:stable-fpm

and

cron:
    image: friendica:stable-fpm

And just do a docker pull?

#Friendica #Docker

Which setting of GD and ImageMagick in #Friendica is causing that big JPEG are not processed and hence uploada fail after the Upload finished?

Upload limits are all high enough, but the 40...40 MB file uploads and then nothing more happens.

I might have asked that question already some years ago.

Hello !Friendica Support,

I just noticed that there is a bug in the current developer version of Friendica when commenting on Diaspora posts. Instead of the comment, this link appears:

• https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#View

Here you can see it on Diaspora:

• https://despora.de/posts/18bd4f00e9fb013e4025466de73a75e5

#Friendica #Diaspora #Bug

Weil ich es gerade erst kennengelernt habe; weiß wer, wie #Friendica mit #Trails umgehen kann?
Habe eben die Instanz auf dem Server von @Milan
https://trails.tchncs.de/trails?page=1 entdeckt und schaffte ich es bisher weder einzelne Routenposts innerhalb meiner Friendicinastanz darzustellen, noch Trails-Accounts zu folgen. !Friendica Support
Finde das Konzept, Wander- und #Radrouten im Fedi zu teilen genial. Das passt so gut ins Fediverse, dass ich denke dasss das ein großer Erfolg werden könnte. Leider scheint es bei mir nioch nicht richtig zu klappen.

Wo finde ich eine Anleitung zu Friendica-Nachrichten-Relais?

Relaisserver sind großartig, um Inhalte in deinem Server zu verbreiten, besonders für kleine Server - stimmt! Entsprechend würde ich nach dem Tod von gup.pe gerne ein Nachrichten-Relais aufsetzen, welches Beiträge mit #​Brettspiele auf kleinen Instanzen sichtbar macht.
Nur: Wo finde ich eine Anleitung, was nach Festsetzung des Kontotyps zu tun ist? Und wieso kann ein Relais-Konto keinem anderen Relais-Konto folgen? Hier erscheint neuerdings die Fehlermeldung

Dies scheint ein Relais-Konto zu sein. Diese können nicht von Nutzern gefolgt werden.

Vor ein paar Versionen ging das noch.

Hi guys,

I just experienced a wierd issue with image federation to #Mastodon.

This post contains 50Mpix image that never federates from #Friendica to Mastodon. Snac and Pleroma does not try to cache the image, so #federation to them works.

Shouldn't be thumbnail federated instead of full size image? Is this bug of Friendica or Mastodon?

I'm on 2024.12 so far, Yuno did not updated packages yet.

Thank you for help
!Friendica Support

Just noticed the new friendica version has been released . See https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases/tag/2026.01

For u3a.social I'll be doing an upgrade on a test instance as soon as I can and then plan for the live upgrade (I'll also want to switch to native rather than docker database).

The nice thing about test upgrades is you get to test your backups !

Hallo allerseits, ich finde die Funktion nicht, wie ich Alternativtext für Bilder (in Posts) in friendica [Server loma.nl] eingeben kann.

In der Galerie geht das ueber das entsprechende Eingabefeld (wie bereits erwaehnt).
Leider ist das noch nicht direkt beim hochladen wahrend dem Erstellen eines Beitrags als Optionfeld beim hochladen der Fall. Das bedeutet unter anderem das wenn ein ALTtext bei der Textbearbeitung, wie weiter unten beschrieben, eingefuegt wird dieser Text gleichzeitig auch in die Galerie auftaucht.


Allgemein ist anzumerken das im Gegensatz zu #mastodon #friendica eine wesentlich bessere Bildergalerie besitzt. Ebenso das diese eigentlich noch nie wirklich ueberarbeitet wurde, das bedeutet unter anderem das die ALTtext Initiative fuer #barriereFreiheit auch nicht eingearbeitet wurde.

Angesichts dieser Umstaende ergibt sich folgende best practice zum erstellen von Beitraegen und Antworten:
(Bearbeitung vom Desktop aus)

• [li] Oeffne zwei Fenster, eines mit dem zu bearbeitenden Text, ein weiteres fuer die Bildergalerie.
  [li] Waehrend der Text bearbeitet wird werden im zweiten Fenster (Reiter) ueber die Fotogalerie die Bilder direkt in die entsprechenden Bilderkategorien hochgeladen.
  [li] In einem zweiten Schritt wird ein drittes Fenster geoffnet in dem die Fotogalerie zu sehen ist.
  * nach hochladen eines Bildes muss dieses Fenster aktualisiert werden um die neuen Bilder anzuzeigen.
  [li] Oeffnen des neuen Bildes in einem neuen Fenster.
  [li] Auswahl der Editierfunktion des neuen Bildes in dem Bildfenster.
  [li] Einfuegen des ALTtextes in dem Bildbeschreibungsfenster.
  [li] Einfuegen der hashtags fuer das betreffende Bild.
  [li] (Sicherheits)Ueberpruefung der Zugriffsberechtigungen fuer das betreffende Bild
  [li] Einfuegen des neuen Bildes in dem Themen- oder Antworttext ueber die

Bildereinfuegen aus Bildergalerie Option
* aktuell werden Bilder am Endes des Textfeldes eingefuegt. Bei mehreren Bildern erscheint es praktisch erste den gesamten Text zu erstellen und alle entsprechende Bilder zu bearbeiten, dann alle Bilder auf ein mal nach einander einzufuegen und dann die Bilder in den Text einzuordnen.
[li] Die Textfelder der Bildergalerie sind in der Ansicht sehr begrenzt. Bei laengeren Bildbeschreibungen empfiehlt es sich die Texte extern zu erstellen.
* Eine weitere Option ist den Text noch einmal im Textbearbeitungsfeld des Artikels mit einem Rechtschreibkorrektor zu ueberpruefen. Der bbCode macht dies allerdings sehr unuebersichtlich.

Hier eine recht neue ziemlich elaborierte und organisierte Bildergalerie eines Projektes und ein Link zu einem Thema inklusive Antworten das u.a. mit jener Bildergalerie erstellt wurde:

https://tupambae.org/photos/utopiarte/album/667269656e646963615475746f
Diese zeigen die oben beschrieben Vorgehensweise, es fehlen jedoch noch die entsprechenden ALTtexte, deshalb wurden sie hier und jetzt noch nicht verwendet:


Allgemeine bbCode Optionen

(wie bereits erwaehnt, ein so erstellter ALTtext wird nicht in der Bildergalerie gespeichert!)

Bildercode der eingefuegt wird wenn ein Bild das zunaechst komplett ueber die Bildergalerie hochgeladen wurde, daraufhin in der Bildergalerie bearbeitet wurde und letzten Endes im Text ueber die aus der Bildergalerie einfuegen Option in den Text eingefuegt wurde:

@Katharina Debus @VegOS @Thomas @Raroun

@Wilhelm thanks... somehow I kept missing things on Pleroma. The reason I switched to Pleroma originally was to play around, but then when my Friendica @utzer@social.yl.ms burned I was stuck on #Pleroma... also looked at Mastodon, but it just isn't checking all requirements I have. So I am back to Friendica and now Docker. I need to improve the setup, but I think it works quite fine like it is for now.

I love the "stay local" function, don't know why that is not a thing on Pleroma and the really reliable search for post URLs is such an underrated feature. Pleroma has this as well, but often it just doesn't work. Same is the search for users by handle, love #Friendica there too.

#Friendica just dropped an important update that pre-generates the content of channels - considering that the home feed is itself a channel (and can easily take over a minute to load sometimes) this might well make Friendica finally becomes properly usable in #SelfHosting hardware. Time to test!
