Newbie questions
Hi !Friendica Support,
I'm not finding much documentation about following and connecting.
Is this how it works:
If the only relationship between A and B is that A follows B, then:
- A is a fan and follower of B.
- A and B are not considered connected.
- There is a unilateral friendship between A and B.
If B also follows A, then:
- A and B are considered connected.
- There is a mutual/bilateral friendship between A and B.
Also, from this page:
When you receive a friendship notification from another Friendica member, you will have the option of allowing them as a "Follower" or as a "Friend". If they are a follower, they can see what you have to say, including private communications that you send to them, but not vice versa. As a friend, you can both communicate with each other.
How do you cause a “friendship notification” to be sent? What form does it take when it arrives? I've been experimenting with 2 accounts, but have not seen a friendship notification.
Thank you,
Dirk
Hi Dirk. It depends on the account type and network. For example my Fendica account is setup to accept all friends requests as "followers". So I get no notification when someone adds me as a friend. But if you follow a Mastodon account, and yo are on Friendica, perhaps they get a notification.
In Friendica you can tweak these things a lot. Let me know if you have more questions.
Thank you @Tio
Two more questions:
1. How do I set up my Friendica account to accept all friend requests as "followers"? And what are the other options?
2. I told my sister to take these steps in order to follow me:
a. Go to Contacts
b. Type my info in the “Add new contact” field and click Connect
c. On the page that comes up, click Submit request
She followed the instructions, and without any input from me, we are now mutual friends. Why didn't Friendica ask for my approval?
Thanks for the help!
No, she was not on any list – I knew she had an account, but that's all. I had tried to find her account, but could not.
Two unexpected things happened: (1) She became a follower of mine without any notification to me or input from me, and (2) I became a follower of her – again without any action taken on my part.
- Yes @anubis2814 is right. You can change it form there.
- It depends what kind of account you have. Maybe you have it setup to accept all friends requests by default. Please check that. And by the way to add someone as a contact is even easier: use the top search bar and paste someone's profile (url or name). Enter. Now you can submit a friend request. I just clicked to follow you did you get any notification?

Element Web is completely broken with Firefox ESR. I don't blame the devs here, they didn't make the policy. But it baffles me that management apparently decided they simply don't support that and won't even do anything to make sure affected users can migrate their existing chats (as not everyone will have a key backup or a second session to allow verification).
This is e.g. the default browser on Debian stable and this is affecting a lot of users that had no idea they were using an "unsupported browser" until it just suddenly broke. It's one thing to not support Firefox ESR (though I think that would still be the wrong choice). It's another to just leave users that could not have reasonably known that without any kind of fix.

Přispívání do OpenStreetMap: proč vlastně?
Před několika měsíci jsem začal přispívat do OpenStreetMap a celkem mě to chytlo. Rozhodl jsem se tedy napsat seriál článků o tom, v jakých formách lze přispívat. Seriál ale musím začít tím, že napíšu o tom, proč vlastně přispívat a kde všude může být vaše práce vidět.
